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.

Thanks crille
I was using my password instead of my username. :oops:

It works fine now, thanks.
Perhaps I need to go back to sleep again! :roll:

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

Tim is usually quite active on facebook and I have sent him a message through that about wcg but he has not been around for the last 5 or 6 days (he is also the only admin on the UBT facebook site)

Thanks for helping us out Mark,

and if you do make contact with Tim, then please wish him all the very best from the rest of us.

James.

Thanks for the PM, Tim. I've just joined the UBT facebook!

So, down to business, which sub-project gives the best credits?

:lol: :lol:

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!

Still 27th position. I can't find a way to see the team members positions in this challenge, can anyone else?

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 :?

Congratulation: 25th Place. I hope you enjoyed the challenge and you will join the 6th birthday challenge in 2010.

Best regards
