I noticed some members have their WCG badges in their signatures. How do I do that? (My appology if this is covered elsewhere.)

:thanks1:

It's a little bit of effort but easy once you've done it once.  Start from this post by WS: http://forum.boinc-australia.net/index.php?topic=539.msg9972#msg9972

For example in my profile, under Forum Profile Information, I paste the following into my signature:
[img]http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/images/pb/hcmd2_1.jpg[/img]
[img]http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/images/pb/flu1_1.jpg[/img]

Thank you. +2 for that! I would not have figured it out. I thought it was one of their Wigets.  :rofl: I'll do it when I am in a patient mood.  :thanks1:

Thanks Kashi. Karma to you too. I can't get HFCC and CEP to work. Will fix them in the morning when I'm full of caffeine instead of beer.  :drink:

:thanks1:


kashi

Wow Dataman, 3 Sapphire, 1 Ruby, 2 Gold, 2 Silver and a Bronze! You've got more medals than Michael Phelps.
Great WCG crunching there. Excellent. :)

Re the 2 that won't work, perhaps you have run out of allowable capacity in the sig area of your profile. You may have too many badges to fit in there.

CEP and HFCC just will not work ... they are Ruby.  :rofl:


Dataman

OK, I figured it out. Two of the badges were http not https. Mr Balmer was protecting me from the evils of the world.  :rofl: I did not notice the message.  :dance:
Thanks for the help!


kashi

I use the http ones. Someone said it is preferable to use them because they use less bandwidth, so those are the ones I showed in my post displaying all of them.

Don't know why 2 of them wouldn't work for you, my 2 bronze display correctly.

Thanks kashi - just enough of a nudge for me to add mine to my sig as well  +1 :)

It was just me that could not see them because of my security level. I did not see the popup that says, "Windows has blocked some of the content of this page because obviously you are too stupid to be on this page without Microsoft's adult supervision." (or something like that  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:) Once I approved it, I could see them.


kashi

Good one, Scott T. A nice trio of badges you have there. I'm crunching away trying to convert my 2 to silver.

Ah yes Dataman, Windows foibles. I've had a few of those with Windows 7 security. Plus I still can't find where everything is yet. :)  I would really prefer an ATI app that works on Linux, but meanwhile my HD 4890 is crunching on Windows like a card possessed.

Very impressive badge collection there Dataman!

kashi

A good collection there Grey Shadow. :)

Hey Dataman, I wondered why I still can't see your Clean Energy and Help Fight Childhood Cancer badges. It is because you are using a https url without an associated security certificate so Firefox is not displaying them. Possibly you are the only one that can see them currently.

You currently have:
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/images/pb/cep1_3.jpg
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/images/pb/hfcc_3.jpg

Preferably you should take the "s" off the end of "https" so that you have:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/images/pb/cep1_3.jpg
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/images/pb/hfcc_3.jpg

You could also substitute "secure" for "www" but I can't think of a good reason to do that, it just uses extra bandwidth.
