Cold more stats be shown on player pages? When you go to achievements, you can click show progress and it shows bugs reported and fixed, moves, solutions shared, dules won, etc, but it would be nice to see those on the players page. This might be a filter for the person viewing the page, so whenever they view someones page, the stats they want to see show up. I'd like to see how many moves and suggestions a player implemented without going the back route. This is just a rough idea, so please add your ideas!
It would also be nice to see the global rank for the week and month.
http://fold.it/portal/players/s_week — Soloist global ranking for the week
http://fold.it/portal/players/s_month — Soloist global ranking for the month
http://fold.it/portal/players/e_week — Evolver global ranking for the week
http://fold.it/portal/players/e_month — Evolver global ranking for the month
With respect to acheivements, et al.: Is it really that inconvenient to make an extra click or two to see the information you want?
Lowering priority, since this is not a value-added feature.
I just think it would be nice to have it all on the players page.
Actually, no. That is saying the achievements should be at the top. I'm saying that more specific stats dhould be shown.
In order to find experts in specific categories, I'd like to see new medals or stars for each puzzle categories, which would take into account achievements on specific categories.
I see 2 alternative:
1) a) Replacing OR b) duplicating silver and gold stars on categories ranking on user'a page by the "ever achieved ranking". Great players are currently ranked low, but I would be interested to see, for example, that SteveB was ever ranked <10 in such or such category. On his current page, there is no star. I could imagine to see there no star (for today) but a gold medal for each category where he achieved at least rank 10 in time (or say, last 2 years).
2) Adding, in the achievements section, silver and gold medals for each category as soloist (+evolver if there is place enough). It could be named like this (for each category):
Junior Soloist Prediction
Achieved Soloist rank 30 or better in at least 5 Prediction puzzles
Veteran Soloist Prediction
Achieved Soloist rank 20 or better in at least 10 Prediction puzzles
Master Soloist Prediction
Achieved Soloist rank 10 or better in at least 15 Prediction puzzles
Same for other Categories.
AAP, Mark and SteveB are great folders - they tend not to 'grind' - so often may end up lower than the top ten after seven days of a puzzle being open. Madde has a list of 'Master soloists' in the German wiki, but as it is manual I am not sure that it is up to date.
