Website Updates for September 24, 2008
Today we released a new version of the World Community Grid website. The changes in this release of the website are as follows:
- Internationalized dates on statistics pages. The World Community Grid website will now internationalize the dates on our pages based on the language set in your browser. This is independent of the language selection drop-down, so that, for example, members who are in an English speaking country where the date is displayed DD/MM/YY will see that format instead of the MM/DD/YY form used in the USA.
- User contribution by project - this is now the first thing you see on the My Grid page. This has been one of the features most requested by members. It will also make it easy for members to tell when they have enough run time to earn a badge. And speaking of badges...
- World Community Grid now has 3 levels of badges! This was another feature repeatedly suggested by members, so now you can move up through Bronze, Silver, and Gold level badges as you contribute more and more run time to your favorite projects. (Please see this FAQ for more information)
- Project badges are now shown in Statistics By Project section (so members can see what they look like if they don't have them)
- There is a new Human Proteome Folding paper on the research page, under Project Archives
- Links to active projects on left-hand navigation of Statistics By Project page. This will make it easier for members to navigate to the global statistics for the projects that are currently running on World Community Grid.
- We also added a new FAQ called: How do I set up the software to automatically start on Windows?
Please enjoy these new features. |
