I am unmoved one way or another. The discussions and information are what keep me here daily.
I would just like my 0.5m airline miles to register! :) |

My intention was this:
How many miles did you earn and How many reward (free) nights did you earn Both were meant through all means, so if you have a credit card that helps you earn miles or nights, those can be included. I agree with the blank spaces being unsightly and we really tried to make them disappear. We hope to do that for a future release. I'll even ask for the ability to hide badges to be developed. That's all that was asked from day one. There was no need to be rude to the more seasoned posters in search of new. |

In what way do you mean "off"? I understand many FlyerTalkers have been to more than 50 countries. That's already been addressed in this thread and there will be upcoming badges. Although if we're on the topic of my intent, I would say you have not been to a country if you haven't experienced the culture and people. Having a layover in an airport or staying in your hotel and ordering room service the whole time doesn't count.
ETA: Even with my intent, how you ultimate decide to calculate and display your badges is up to you |

That have appeared over the past week, how do you alter them as it states I’ve only done 10 countries, when I’m on 51 and 53 by the end of 2024...

We tried fixing the placeholders, but just couldn't come up with a solution. It's still being worked on.

Why not just leave them where they are but make them white instead of gray?

I love this badges change. It’s fun. I also spent 5 minutes typing the countries I’ve visited and had previously forgotten Taiwan. Too funny as I’ve been there 2 separate times. I enjoy having been to 20 countries as opposed to 19 :-)

I think it was just an individual's idea of how best to use the ones available. It appears from IBJoel that more badges may be forthcoming so may solve the issue.

I recently came in second in the United States Handball Association Nationals. So, I think a generic First Loser badge and we’d both be covered.

Why n:confused:t use a .gif/.png with "transparent" as the color? Most browsers support that.

IBJoel - Many folks, myself included, have been asking how the number of countries visited were first assigned by default. What crawlers were used and based on what data? Or was it just randomly assigned in the hope that the member would discover it's incorrect and go change it?
