Word Count Scoreboard http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/tech-help-site-bug-reports/threads/30637 acover4422 Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I was just wondering when the word count scoreboard will come up? I've never done NaNo before so I'm new to this site, Is it something that comes up at the end of November? Is there any way to see who has the most words before then?

But it will just show group totals for the regions and maybe the genres. There is no way to see which user has posted the largest word count. (It's not part of our goal ... anyone who passes 50K is a winner, there is no winningest.)

Is there a way of doing this?

You used to be able to look through the Search, but that seems to be having issues lately. We used to also have our wordcount below our avatar in the forums, but that isn't yet working. Once that's back up, you'll be able to see a lot easier what the worcount of other users is.

Thank you. [/quote] Er, um... I think I misspoke and have been answering too many forums posts in rapid succession. The thing that is being tested is the widgets and the API that allow for comparing different authors wordcounts. I have NOT actually been testing the word count scoreboard. I apologize for the confusion my comment may have caused. I am reasonably certain the scoreboard is coming soon, too, but I wanted to make sure I am absolutely clear: what I thought I was replying to earlier was a comment about the widgets and API. I, apparently, messed up on that bit.

I'm pretty sure we still are. I think our real competition at the moment is actually Los Angeles, haha. At least they were ahead last I checked via widget a week or so ago. Anyway, widgets are more trouble than is really needed it feels like when we're this far in, kind of frustrating is all. It's just nice to be able to look at how everyone's doing with out having to go hunt down whatever region you want to look at.

[/quote] The cartoons are done by someone not on our tech team, and took no time away from the tech team. T-shirts as well... not to mention that t-shirt sales are critical to our funding. We are working on many things at once. I know you're disappointed that the scoreboard didn't make it; we just ran out of time. Don't worry, we'll continue working throughout the year. I would say that since you reached 50k, it didn't affect your ability to win, so congratulations!

We used to be in the top 3 at the beginning of the month,which was a huge amount of fun! Ok, we dropped a few spaces evey year, but nontheless, it was great to see how such a Region as ours ended up in the top 10. Well not this year sadly. I hope it pops up this month though.
