New Updates

[PsychoGoldfish]

If you tried logging on to the site this morning, you probably noticed we were down for maintenance.

We had a little bit of spring cleaning that needed to be done, including a bug fix for the medal system that was causing medals to not unlock to your profiles.

Well, the good news is that bug should finally be fixed. The better news is that was being fixed, we also put together some new stats views for the medals.

Without further ado, check out the following:

http://www.newgrounds.com/rankings/medals - Global medal stats.
http://www.newgrounds.com/social/stats/medals - Social medal stats.

Also, you can now click on the icon for any medal to see who the first users were to earn it, and who's picked it up most recently. Try it out by clicking some icons via the userpage of our current medal king, Nijsse:

Without Newgrounds, I have no reason to be on the internet.

Stat-whores everywhere rejoice!

[PsychoGoldfish]

Some additional notes.

Part of the cleanup was fixing medal scores; some people will now have higher or lower scores all of a sudden. This is because some unapproved/broken medals were stripped out, while many more medals that should have been approved finally got added to the pool.

You may also need to clear your cache if clicking medal icons from a game view page doesn't work.

Neat update, good to see!

Honor and glory to Nijsse! ;)

On individual medal pages, I noticed that they display the wrong game names, at least for me. For instance, I've tried to access medals for First Fantasy and Mechanical Ice Apocalypse and their pages list those medals as belonging to Friday: The Game and Myth Runner respectively.

Those are some nice new stat pages. Also, good to see the medal system has been fixed.

What page are you clicking the icons on?

I have been clicking on them from my 'medals unlocked' pages in my profile. (http://username.newgrounds.com/stats/medals)

Thanks, got it fixed!

[Cyberdevil]

Looks like the race for medal points is about to start for real, and everybody is going to want to be first too. :) Great feature additions, and bug fix!

[Art3misZer0]

More stat whoring? Fucking awesome

[PsychoGoldfish]

I suppose I should also mention, on the global medal rankings page there is a sort option for 'Showing Rank Movement For'

That probably seems like it does nothing now because I have no aggregated stat totals for any time before today, but basically when people go up or down in rank, the chart will actually show how fat they have moved during that period.

So if a user goes up 2 places today, and 3 places tomorrow... and you look at the chart tomorrow, their movement for 'Today' will be +3, and their movement for 'This Month' will show +5.

[Shantom]

This is one AWESOME update :D
Thank you PsychoGoldfish!!

And congratulations for Nijsee :3

Not to sound greedy but, are there more plans regarding this topic?

Yea I did, I was playing a game before shutting down site because of updating, then clicked icon and noticed :P

Thanks for finally fixing that, I couldn't get any of medals from game Epic Battle Fantasy 4

[SubNoctem]

Awesome new feature! My thanks to Psychogoldfish and the rest of the NG staff that helped make this happen.

[Knuckstrike]

Hybrid-Of-Souls raises a good point. I do love the new list, but are the cheaters staying on it? I personally don't have a list with users and proof, but I'm sure Hybrid-Of-Souls and a couple other people do.
Two examples are skiller12 who openly admitted he cheated (a nice guy, but still a cheater) and DarkStriker36 who got 0:00:000 times on Ching Chong Beautiful.

And now I feel bad for being a complete slacker for medal hunting.

[ExtraLife]

... And another age of stat whoring begins

Sweetness!
Now I will no longer feel as though my earning medals was all for nothing! xD

[ill]

Not the kind of update I was hoping for but this does excite me.

Thanks!

[The-Great-One]

Oh medals... that's cool.

I'm sorry, it's nice that the medals have been fixed, but I was hoping for the Literature Portal.

[NoLanLabs]

This is pretty neat.

I actually got in NG this morning and it worked on my laptop.

Hmm, I see....

Hopefully this won't happen for sometime.

This is fricking great. Looking forward to see my name on that list soon!

This is great again. But then, it was not really my concern but good job!

Well this is nice all right.

Looks like that guy has a lot of time on his hands.

Will we be able to access that page directly from the game's page rather than from a user who has earned that medal?
