Ooooh ooh (channeling Horshack) ,

Does this mean I can be ”@iatethecookies”?!

Well anywho, thanks for the fix folks.

Thank you Thank You!
I got mine and even a surprise!

This is fantastic. We get the awards fixed and Horshack back. What could be better?

augustlan's avatar

It occurs to me that this may have been Ben. Oops!

One treasured award has become a veritable trove! Ahar me hearties, lurve abounds!!!

I got a ‘perfecto-fish’ – feel enormously honoured, but no idea what it’s for…?

Whine, whine, whine…...I didn’t receive my Circumnavigator Award.
I know thought I earned it. sniff!

erichw1504's avatar

Yay! No more “Why didn’t I get this award?” questions!

Woo! I was so happy to see a bunch of awards just as I logged in! Thanks so much to the powers that be :)

@Seelix I know! They’re silly, insignificant things, but they do make me smile! A fellow jelly posted on my fb page that I finally got my 5k award, so I checked, and saw I also finally had my Pilgrim, Mer-Jelly and Jules Verne! <smile>

I’ve seen references here and there to awards “not working”, and I’m curious – how did they stop working? Are they still considered fixed? Why do specific ones not work?

Dutchess_III's avatar

Over to the right there are notices. Some times they’re about people get some award or another, but what wasn’t working was we weren’t getting notification of good answers and good questions being given. Sometimes that’s the only way to find out where the action is.

I don’t know that the awards themselves were ever broken. I don’t particularly care for the awards because I don’t have the faintest idea of how to achieve the more obscure ones.

dappled_leaves's avatar

Oh weird – thanks, @Dutchess_III, I’ve never tried to follow the notifications because they don’t seem to be in real time (or at least there’s too much going on there for me to follow it). But I am perplexed about the awards themselves, which seem not always to be given when the required hurdle has been leapt.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Hell, half the time you don’t even know what the hurdles are! One, the frizzer award, has something to do with pancakes and frizzers and cake and….I don’t know what all!

dappled_leaves's avatar

Hah! Yes, I’ve noticed that some of them are, shall we say…. obscure. Looking forward to getting a few of those. :)

augustlan's avatar

A few awards still don’t work (or maybe don’t work properly). RobotCrush can’t be obtained right now, because Flutherbot is still (and always) sick, and the attendance awards don’t seem to be quite right, either. I think everything else is working again, though.

@dappled_leaves There was a coding error or something that caused a bunch of trouble with awards. Took us a while to locate and fix it.

dappled_leaves's avatar

Flutherbot, we hardly knew ye. Thanks, @augustlan.

filmfann's avatar

@augustlan Is that a clue on how to get RobotCrush?
I always thought it had to do with Andrew being a computer.

augustlan's avatar

My lips are sealed. SEALED, I tell you!

everephebe's avatar

Sealed, oooh I bet that’s a clue!

Dutchess_III's avatar

No no! It’s the word ‘are’ that gives us a clue! ‘Are’ ‘R’ ‘Robot’! C??
