I just wanted to come here and let everyone know both domains are now working. After waiting almost 6 days, the domain registar released the domains and are now pointing to the new host.

Now keep in mind, its 4am. I'm off to bed, but when I wake up, I will get in touch with Skip and get him to released the unstable version of Hero Stats and we can be on our way to tracking your badges again

Please be sure to read the news section as this will explain a lot about the new site and what new features we've added and what we've improved. If you have any questions, please feel free to post on the new boards and I will do my best to answer any questions or fix any problems you may find.

Take care and Happy Badging!

Just to give everyone a update, the site is up and running 100%

I pushed the site live 2 weeks ago, but still had some kinks to work out and since then, I've done just that. Skip over at Hero Stats has pushed out a UNSTABLE version that currently works with the site.

So please make sure you download the UNSTABLE version if you plan on tracking your characters.

So I hope you all enjoy the new layout of the site and its new features.

As always, I'm open for changes, so if you have any suggestions, please feel free to PM me and I will consider your suggestions for future updates

**EDIT**

Also, for new accounts, please don't forget to activate your account by reading the email you get from the site, you will need to click a link to activate your account. Failing to activate your account will result in a deletion by the system after 3 days. So please make sure you do this, that way you won't have to sign up all over again in the future.

Thanks, Beef.

Badge-Hunter and Vidiotmaps are two of the best COH related sites. It's usually a thankless job to keep them up and running, let alone improve them.

First, the site looks flippin' beautiful!

Second, there seems to be something wrong with the badge completion bars. They don't have a right-hand piece and so look as if they are cut in half. Also, the badge total is not displaying the correct total (though the bar above it seems to be correct except for the aforementioned problem). This only seems to be a problem on the screen in which each category is summarized and not on the screen where you pick your character.

Hi,

the site looks graphically and mathematically correct to me, I wonder if it is a screen resolution thing. Can you post your browser type and version and screen rez please? And if you got a screenie that would help as well.

Can you tell us the badges that seem to be missing as well. You are aware that there was a problem with those badges that have male/female types not being verified which has now been sorted. You may have to reverify those to get your correct totals.

Cheers

TY TY. That's the info I was waiting for. Now I can finally re-verify everybody.

Edit:
And everything seems to be functioning just fine for me again as well.
My badge total was only showing verified badges, regardless if I added the Gendered names manually, but now everything is updating normally again.

Nice work!

Check to make sure you're not in compatibility mode if you're using IE for your browser. The new site should work fine without it. The discrepancy in your badge totals might be due to having turned on the "hide inactive badges" option, though I can't tell you exactly where to go to change that.

Yeah, with IE if you have compatability Mode turned on, please turn it off. The site was coded so that you don't need Compatability Mode at all. For some reason this seems to break some things from working properly (progress bars). Why I have no idea as the code is solid and works fine with all browsers.

As for the badge counts, I think I know what you were referring to and made that change. So if you could let me know if that fixed what you were referring to.

This is what I am seeing:

As you can see, it looks like the bars got chopped off or something. However, the badge total now seems to be displaying properly on all of the screens for me (before it showed 0 of 776 even though I had badges recorded just above it).

Turn off the Compatiability Mode in IE, this will correct your bars.

As I said, Compatability Mode for some reason breaks the bars, I'm not sure why but it does. I've messed with that for hours to try and fix it, but Compatability Mode is a unknown mystery.

BTW, what resolution you running? Your character details seem to be smooshed there.

For some reason, I am not showing up on any server list even though I have varified my account, any ideas Beef?

Just wanted to put my stamp of approval on beefcakes efforts!

Things are working very well on the site. Verifying badges is now simple, and takes hardly any time at all. If any of you are badgers, and use his site, if you can afford it, send him some loot. Looks like he put an awful lot of time into things.

God bless you, beefcake/daywalker
