Lately, I've been seeing the accolades next to people's avatars, and I couldn't help but wonder what they are for. Do they get them for making some contribution to the site? Just wondering.
Hiya. Right now we just have a few, but we can technically make them for *anything*. Addicted to McDonalds French Fries? We can give you the cholesterol award! :lol: If you see the money bag, it means that person has donated to our site to help keep it active. If you see a little wheel it means that member is supporting our folding@home project... We'll be seeing alot more of them soon that we'll give to people we feel should have one, let me know if there was a specific one that YOU might want too though okay! -Jason
I can feel the guys at Stanford wretching... It's not a little wheel... it's a molecular chain. Specifically, it's a molecular image of a non-specific protein, which is what the Folding@Home project deals with. If you're interested in learning more about Folding@Home, please check out the Folding@Soup forum.
Well, if you have any questions, read through the Folding@Soup forum, and post any questions you have there. We'll be happy to answer any questions you have about the project.
Hey. I would like to see a Contributor award for people who have done so much for the site, even if they have not donated. Maybe they help out a lot, maybe they make constructive posts, you know, good stuff.
"even if they don't donate" he says.... see http://www.aliensoup.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7927 ya bums. and dont give me no lip about it!
Did you notice a Journal problem? Aside from no direct and easy link to view comments other than clicking on 'make comment' hehe. As for the accolades, you haven't seen them for about 4-5 days or so, been trying to trace a bug that occured during the new software update from 2.3.0 to 2.3.2. They appear in the area where you see peoples little journal icons inside their posts.
