Hello, everyone.

I am enjoying projecteuler, and I wrote many problem thread.

I have a question about Forum Post Awards.

Wise Words's achievement is "Receive 5 Kudos for ALL your posts".

I received 24 Kudos for all my posts, but I received only four Kudos in the permanent post. And the progress is 4 / 5.

What is "All your post" ? Please tell me.

Actually the award like other awards concerning kudos is given for kudos for all your permanent posts. Otherwise it would be subject to permanent change.

This has been explained in some forum at the time the new awards were intoduced, but indeed is not indicated on the main site, what can be misleading.

I have a super-low priority question related to this thread (and others). I understand that kudos only count towards awards for permanent posts, but I believe I satisfy the requirements for the "Wise Words" award, but haven't been awarded it. To count towards the kudos based rewards, do the permanent posts have to be automatically permanent, as in among the first 100, or do posts manually made permanent by an admin also qualify?

I made a post on the forum for Problem 51, admittedly well after the first 100 posts, so it wasn't automatically made permanent. It's currently post #105 on that forum. That post has since received 5 kudos and seemingly been made permanent manually by an admin ... there's a lock icon at the bottom. On the progress/posts page, the post is listed as "051: 0 (5)" without the green color, indicating that it's not permanent both due to the lack of color and that the 5 is in parentheses. This disagrees with the lock icon in the actual forum. So, is it possible the logic governing the awarding of kudos based rewards has an implicit "post must be within first 100" requirement? If so, is that intended? Thanks for the time.

There was an issue, but it should be fixed. Visit your Progress page and view the Awards section for a surprise. 8-)
