Hello.  It would appear that the badge html code does not automatically update rating information.  When I "Get the code!", I see that the rating is a static number so it will never update.  Are there plans to fix this?  I'd like to use my badge on an internet gaming forum that I frequent.

Thanks!

Edit: Oh, and I'd love a similar Tactics Trainer badge full of stats like rating, number of problems, hours, etc.

For now you might try removing the badge from your personal site and re-adding it to show the most accurate rating. We will try to make sure that the badge will update with new information when your rating changes. We thank you for your patience while we work to correct this issue.

Thanks.  I did do that, but it will still never update on my site.  The actual html source in the "Get the code!" textarea has the rating number in there as static text.

The problem is that we can't really update it without using JavaScript, which won't work in most cases since other sites don't allow for javascript insertion. It's REALLY hard to get dynamic data ported from one site to another. I'm sorry! Any solutions would be appreciated :)

What I've done in the past (and I believe other sites do the same) would be to simply generate an image containing the information.  There would actually be no text involved.   It could be done on-the-fly or in batch format at a time interval like every day.

ah yes, could be an image :) good call! we have the gd libraries installed... ok. will ponder!
