Ah...That explains the lights flickering here last night!

Quite literally I stumbled onto this link while reading forum threads.
It is being posted here so that it will benefit all team members.
This is not a secret, it is just not well advertised.

If it is too small to read hold down the Ctrl-key and roll your mouse wheel.
There is some very useful information in that image.
Maybe it will help you select your projects to get the most badges or the highest color badges.
Coupled with a new i7 and the above info I have gotten two sapphire badges and a couple of silver in the last week or two.
Good luck everyone.

little mermaid,
In this case you don't want a color.
Unfortunately mine is Kelly Green.

On your present team are you getting any C4CW work units?
The dashboard link above shows the project on hold, while it is 60.65% complete, and with 303 days tasks left.

I don't know about sputnick55, but my current Captain laments
that the project is temporarily on hold, and I myself have not seen any for a long time.
And, since I do have a colour I might as well get it diamond studded.
Survivor since 2003.

I prefer smaller images, too.
Often I do a Google search and choose pictures and am able to use the sample thumbnail
instead of the often much larger picture on the website where the real picture belongs.
I would like to be able to reduce pictures in size on the fly as well,
but know no way myself.
Hope someone in the know will post about it.
