  • I only have to look at some point during the day to see what the score to beat is. It's not too difficult.
  • Yes, but that means you can get a puppy even after the Challenge has officially closed for the day, doesn't it?
  • We can easily figure out if someone was dishonest. No worries.
  • @admins - I was playing today's challenge and now I'm wondering what does it mean when on the leaderboards some of the usernames are in bold font?

    Edit: Does it mean that the user is a "Certified Nester"?
  • @AngerManagement - Oh, okay! :D I haven't noticed that until now! But thanks for the explanation, sounds reasonable :D
  • @admins, why are people allowed to use HTML tags whilst creating or changing their usernames, on sites such as YouTube you get an error message whilst trying to use them in a simple comment? That's fine, @lisko:)
  • We are actively working on disallowing use of HTML tags in nicknames. If you see any, please send me a PM.
  • I saw a name, bird *** if not wrong
  • How about having a total of averages for each episode; maybe also for top scores? I am always hoping that the averages will go down. I'm sure the top score will only go up; so maybe not that interesting except for curiosity.
  • I'm not sure what you mean, @mvnla2. You mean an average of users total score, for an episode say? The problem there is that not all users enter scores for all levels, so the average would be meaningless.
  • I'm not looking for some additional measure of how well I'm doing. I suppose I might be the only one who thinks a total of average scores for each level would be interesting. I'm always hoping the averages will go down after the first day or two, so I won't have as many levels to work on to get above average. Not sure that this ever happens.
  • I've tried looking through the pages here, but with so many topics I'm not sure if it has been asked.

    Would it be possible to 'fix' the rankings on each leaderboard? If players are tied with the same score they should be of the same rank.

    For example:
    Seasons Abra-ca-bacon Golden Egg #44
    There are currently 6 players with a score of 73390. They all should be rank 3, while the next highest score 73380 should all be rank 9.

    There is a bonus level on one of the games (I don't remember which one) where there is a max score of 25000. That level does give you proper credit for equaling the top score, but your rank is way off. Everyone should be rank 1.

    I'm not gonna gripe if it can't be done, just curious if it could be.
  • @Xanadude That is actively being worked on. In fact, according to the "to-do" list that I see, it's pretty high up there. It could be on the live site within a matter of weeks (but don't hold me to that, I'm not a programmer, just a messenger).
  • I've been adding scores to my Pig Dipper leaderboard and now I suddenly noticed that even when there's levels in which I haven't added any scores, it still shows the rank on that level. Has it always been like that? Does that rank mean the rank with the exact average score or what is it? Haha, haven't noticed that before :D
  • @amslimfordy On the Angry Birds Space leaderboards is it possible to put the Space Egg levels with their corresponding 10 levels? (i.e. Levels 1-10 listed; corresponding Space Egg listed. Then list 11-20; corresponding space egg. Etc, etc.) I just find it weird to have to go all the way to the bottom of the leaderboard to list my Space Egg scores.
  • @angrybirdsspacemaster, I agree that your idea would be better for the interface on the leaderboards, but I don't think the leaderboards have the ability to change the levels around yet, but I think the admins may be working on it, as they recently established the code that allows them to change around the episodes, just not the levels yet, but I may be wrong, @amslimfordy?
  • @Lisko Yes, that needs to be fixed and removed.

    @AngryBirdsSpaceMaster Not really. The sort function on the leaderboard is being fixed at the moment (it's slightly off on its logic), but those levels will always be sorted to the bottom.

    The biggest issue is that the leaderboard will automatically sort by level number. If you wanted the Space Eggs to (say) lie between levels 10 and 11, there's no integer there that we could call it. The Space Egg would be 11, then level 11 would become 12, etc. etc. (Decimals are not allowed)
  • Looks like you may be clicking ads accidentally, or perhaps you have something "not so good" running in the background on your computer (malware, adware, etc.)
  • @AMslimfordy - Oh, okay, just asking 'cause I hadn't noticed those before, but that explains it :)
  • @AMslimfordy - nothing urgent, but Stocktoad mentioned me in a comment on today's Challenge & I didn't receive a notification nor does it show up under "mentions" in my profile. I've noticed this happen a couple of times before.
  • I'll keep an eye out.
  • I've also noticed it a couple of times, @karen68 & @amslimfordy.
  • I too noticed I do not always get a notification. Most of the time I get the notice, but a few times recently not. Haven't determined a pattern.

  • Would it be possible to be more specific on device used?

    I know there are probably hundreds of different devices where you can play these games on, but it seems possible that some can give you a point advantage on some levels.

    I play on a Kindle Fire, but my listing only says Android tablet.
  • Gameplay between devices should not change in any significant way. Between version numbers there are sometimes changes though these are rare.
  • Could there be a way to click straight to the last page of a discussion from the main forum page? That would be quite convenient for quickly accessing thing like The Bloated Pig.
  • Once the thread is opened, the last page number is always available to click.
  • I think it would be a good idea for us nesters that have read page 1 over and over on each forum, so we wait impatiently for that last page to show up, but I think it would confuse newbies, and I think it is a necessity and a pleasure for them to read page 1 of a forum for the first time. However, I think @angrybirdsspacemaster is suggesting a link that reads "Last", that is underneath the main forum title. But you might as well wait until you have migrated the forums to the main site before considering something permanent, @amslimfordy.
  • @angermanagement has it exactly right. It would just make it so we don't have to reread Page 1 over again every time.
  • I absolutely agree
  • I agree with this idea.
  • @admins, the draft box automatically saves draft even if I'm not click the "save draft" button and even if I have already posted the comment, so is this a bug or a part of the draft feature ?
    BTW--Is anyone has a same problem with me ?
  • A draft saves automatically every so often, but continuing and posting the comment should remove it from the draft box.
  • @firebombbird, a draft is saved automatically every minute, or manually whenever you want, but posting the overall comment will remove the draft from your Drafts Folder:)
  • @amslimfordy, @birdleader, I just got a notification that Kathy had mentioned me in a comment at 4:35 PM (My time->UTC+0) in the Bloated Pig, but when I clicked on the notification it took me to the comment in which she had mentioned AngryBirdsSpaceMaster, do you know why or is this a bug?
  • @AngerManagement It's possible that Kathy edited the comment afterwards. I've never heard of such a glitch, so that's my best guess.
  • @AMslimfordy and @Angermanagement just checked my emails and yes she did mention you in her comment and probably edited the comment, so no bug, just a slip up :D
  • Thanks guys, that's exactly what I thought about 10 minutes after my comment above:] Does ABSM still get the notification if the comment is edited?
  • I'm not sure honestly. Hrm...
  • I don't think it gives a notification when the comment is edited...
    Going to check, if this message after edit send out a @mention notification.

    [edit] Well does it @angermanagement and @amslimfordy?
  • I love this page right now I am facing only one problem on my phone the page turns blue except for forum but leaderboard and walk throughs like blued out, anybody else facing the problem from the phone (android)
  • Nothin E*. Good test!

    @koriakin I haven't seen any issues. Perhaps try clearing the Internet cache on your phone?
  • @AngerManagement, @Kathy did mentioned you in her comment but I told her that was @ABSM so she has edited the comment
  • oh boy !! Sorry i just got this notification Yes i mistakenly mentioned @angermanagement then i realized my mistake and edited my comment.
    Thanks @firebombbird for the alert,:)
  • Thanks for clearing that out guys:]
  • @admins, could you guys add the member's username right next to their nickname in the groups, this way is easier to mention someone, especially someone that has the username different from their nickname
