Guild Launch News
Recent Achievement Display
In the near future, you may notice that recent achievements are not displaying. This is intentional - they have been shut off!
"Shut off?!" you say, "But GL_Slater, I need those achievements!"
Fear not, theoretically hysterical Guild Launch user. While recent achievements are down for the moment, this is a corrective measure to help improve tracking for the 145 million achievements* we track in Guild Launch.
So while the display of recent achievements has been struck down, it will soon become more powerful than you can ever imagine**!
*real number provided to GL_Slater by people who actually know.
**unless you can imagine quite a bit. But it will still be better.

haha .. I nearly became that theoretical user ... not that I'd really get hysterical about something like that! But I'd just noticed it had done a moonlight flit. Looking forward to seeing the new, bouncier, more powerful widget "soon"
Being new to GL, Im just reading why this widget isnt working, any idea when one that does work will be available? This is an important feature to our members.
What were the updates to the achievements widget, out of interest? Because it still doesn't appear to be auto-updating, and our widget is going time travelling again (perhaps we have a Dr Who-themed site!) ... the current achievements showing have been/will be gained apparently in 2038
I've noticed it is still having problems with character names that have foreign characters in them, too (ie, é, ó etc)

Cool .. I did suspect flux was involved somewhere .. its always so much .. in flux :P
As for the characters ... a current example is for a character called Chosenone ... shown on the Achievements widget as "Chosenon" ... his actual character name has a "special" character for the last e:

I have seen other examples in the past, especially weird are those where the "special characters" are in the middle of the character name, but as there doesn't appear to have been an achievement for one of those for a while, I don't have an example. I'll keep an eye out.

I assumed the achievements were being pulled from the Armories ... is this particular problem fixable (by yourselves ) ?
What about the automatic updating .. is that going to be incorporated at some point? (I don't mind doing it manually, its just that I need to actually remember to do it )

It updates with a manual roster import with character information, but the automated roster imports don't import that (to keep page loads down). I'll mention it to our developers in the next couple hours to see what they think about making it an option for automated imports, though.
Ahh .. I'm guessing it won't be feasible then .. I'm fairly sure we've had this discussion before (not necessarily me and thee ... but me and GL )
