The bot isn't taking updates right now, it seems... Must be a good sign really;)
A little request in addition to what Kerrie said about the fireworks :D A star (or fireworks, haha) near a completed part of the challenge. Especially important while sorting. Oh and btw while sorting (by movies, books etc) can those that didn't sign up for this part be at the bottom? basically rather than the current: 1, 1, 0, -, 0, -, -, 0, can it be: 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, -, -, -? :) Also would it be too much of a hassle to automatically recognize "pages" and "words" as #reading and #writing? I know it won't work with video/conversation but at least where it's unambiguous? (ie it would be nice if it was enough to use "pages" OR #reading, not both) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

That's a good idea. I can definitely put a star beside each completed challenge in the list! And perhaps change the colour of the whole entry for people who have completed everything. I'll see what I can do about the fireworks ;).
This is currently listed on each individual page (just click the name of a participant, to the left of the twitter tag). Did you mean that these should also be listed on the front page? I guess one way of doing this would be making it sort by challenge percentage when you click on the challenge column. At the moment it just seems to be a random order.
It's nice you assume I'm working on the bot ;), but unfortunately this time it crashed trying to decypher a particularly obtuse tweet. It sould be up and going again, and has processed all the tweets that were sitting waiting. Edit:
Great!
Do you mean a star beside each completed line (ie, challenge) within a person's group, or do you mean a star beside lines (or maybe in the boxes) that have completed for example 100/100 books?
Sure, this shouldn't be too hard.
I think I looked at doing this earlier, and it was going to be a pain because of the way I'd set things up. However I'll take another look and see if I can't get it working. I agree that it's much more logical to have it detect the challenge in these cases. (On a similar line, you should probably also be able to drop the language tag for exercises that you're only doing in one language.)
I've never actually tried it, but I suspect you can add negative times and pages as the bot is now. The only catch is that it'll appear as an item in your list of materials, and then if you want to tidy up the list later, you'll have to undo the not-really-an-undo post and then undo the original post. I didn't want to put in a stop-gap measure like this because I think things will just get more convoluted than necessary.

A crazy question: what languages do you see yourself doing for a later Super Challenge?
I know this one will be unique for me. *sigh* I suppose I could do Romanian (again, but including books) and Swedish. Maybe also Danish or Norwegian (as I'll be doing it for the Assimil challenge). Belarusian. I probably can and need to do a German advanced challenge, but I don't want :P But these would be all half challenges. 50/50 or audio only. Maybe books only for Spanish - at least they would be easy to find. (just like with Swedish) But damn... And I was thinking of switching either Italian or Portuguese to a half challenge. When I have the opportunity to do a full one... Nah, no way. ...Or should I do 50/50 now and 200/200 later? ooohh... Sounds good really. hjkgjghjghhkghkghgjj ....I know it's better to wait before the end of this challenge before planning anything :P :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I don't mind it with the language really. There are short tags and typing three characters is okay:) I wonder what will happen if I downgrade a challenge to 50/50 after doing more than 50? the extra ones wouldn't count, but would they be still there if i change my mind again? The thought of doing less Italian (and maybe adding Belarusian instead) is surprisingly relieving... edit: lol nah can't stand the thought of doing less Italian. But I'll do Belarusian anyway.......... O_o Edited by Serpent on 29 July 2012 at 3:05am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes, if you downgrade the extra ones will still be there in case you change your mind. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I don't remember what we decided... are we (eventually) going to be able to add writing or conversations to the half challenges?
This is a good thing, since I am considering upgrading my Spanish Challenge, but I won't do it until I finish the original challenge. Is that chicken of me? LOL 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hehe no it isn't! This way they won't be scaled to 50% before you're at 100 :D
I think I won't do a 200/200 challenge. like, ever XD The half challenge+writing/convo is on the to-do list on the main page:) yeah I also can't wait till it's added;) TBH...one reason I upgraded back was that it looked ugly with just one Super Challenge and too many half ones. I might check out what it looks like when my German is a Half Duper or whatever this would be called... Yeah. 1 person has voted this message useful |
