5th Birthday Challenge

This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.

As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.

PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue ;-)

Ah - time for a change of project for me then!

Am I right in thinking that only the 'team Captain' can join us into a WCG challenge?

How did you get your badges to work crille?

When I tried it, all I got was "the wcg file is not available".  :(

Perhaps you don't insert your correct username.. A lot of space charaters in it.  :?

When I insert "UBT - Rick Horn", it works.

I think you might be right Mikee, which probably means that we aren't going to be able to take part in this. :(

THIS is an easier way to see the Team stats for the WCG 5th Birthday Challenge.

The stats will be updated at 23.59hrs each night, straight from the WCG official stats page.

Thanks to crille for the link! :D

I`ve been trying too, but no luck.
Don`t think it can be done.

Shame, because it fosters inter-team rivalry, therefore producing more points for the team  :?
