medals gone??

[youeatcake]

it might be just my crappy computer, but whenever i play a game with medals i do not see what medals you can get, it makes it confusing to know what to do to get more medal points. if this has something to do with newgrounds itself i hope it get's fixed soon so i can earn more points with knowing what to do.

[gamer30hrplus]

I have that same problem. I have been noticing it for days now. I just do not get it.

[portalwarpedJP]

disable your adblock or switch your portal preferences to the new layout.

[DrClay]

I still see them, so it must be your computer, maybe clear your cache

[Goldfire64]

this is why medals are still in beta form.

[youeatcake]

i don't want the new layout, cuz i want to know why a game is rated T or M or you know

unfortunately, the old layout doesn't show the medals, because whoever likes them doesn't want it to change.
medals are new layout ONLY.

Where is this "Portal Preferences" of which you speak?

what the....!?

but that's just crazy!!!!!!
so it's: have the medals but don't know why a game is rated M or T
or: see why the game is rated M or T without medals

THAT'S FREAKING STUPID!!!

if that's the case, just go to a game using the old layout and see the rating thingy, then switch back to the new layout and see the medals.
that simple huh.

Yeah, I noticed that too, but I was having problems with my computer, so I thought it might have been just me. If you want to look at medals, just go to Matt Roszak's profile for his medals. He has more than any other person and may in fact have them all.

sorry man, but you're wrong. there's a lot of people with more medals than him (Wylo, Krev...).
and nobody has ALL the medals.

[Invisable-Ranger]

So, if we want to know what medals are possible, we're being forced into the Wide Layout?

Thanks a lot, Tom. I suddenly remember why I use Adblock.

[JollySpace]

Why do people complain about medals all the time. They're just medals.. Seriously.

[dx5231]

I think your problem is ADblock. Disable it to see the medals.

No, I disabled Adblock, and they weren't there.

Done that but i only was able to see them for like an hour then they were gone. I have no adblocker either.

Yeah, the Seed of Destruction medals system made sure that that would be impossible.

Well thanks for posting this guys, you weren't alone. I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now.

Poor man's achievement points. It shows how long you're willing to spend playing a flash game.

[VladimirJFaust]

I think that this should answer all of your questions OP: It is from PsychoGoldfish's thread in the Where is/How To forum:

they just take a little while to show on the game page for me, nothing else.
have you waited?

I cannot see any medal on the game page.... could be the classic layout??

Yes, because it's too much trouble to constantly support multiple versions of the portal, classic view is going to stay 100% classic and get none of the new api features. After looking at our database we found less than 0.1% of our members even use it. And since those few fear change so much... we'll keep you safe from new stuff >_>

In other words, in Classic mode, you will not be able to see the medals. Play the game in In-Page mode, using the pop-up. Seems to work the best for me.

I tried that. i got no medals up. i tried everything i could find on how to see them. I never had this issue. even with my comp having more issues then it is now. I even tried the internet options and F11 still nothing.

I tried my best to help then. Only other suggestion I have is to clear your cookies and stuff. If you've already done that and taken off ad-blockers, then I am out of ideas. Contact an admin and see what they say.

Woah, thank you very much! I heard that life had more medals than anyone else and I went over to Matt Roszak's profile and he had more than life, so I assumed he was the #1 winner now. Thank you for the information!

Oh, never mind. I just went over to the "how to?" forums and I noticed that there's a forum that records who has the most medals. The #1 person on the list isn't Wylo actually. It's currently waynerz99. A pity he hasn't contributed much to the website.

[Lorkas]

Maybe Tom wanted to hide them from the stat whores.
