Alerts:
OK I have come up with an easy way to implement alerts when the badge beta is done.
Will take the array of badge colors and convert that array to a JSON string and then take the cryptographic hash of that string and store that string in the user table.
Then it is easy to check when a new threshold badge has been reached without tracking values that change often.
Then when the state changes .. will issue a simple dismissable Bootstrap alert which states the user has a new badge but not the actual badge (in first beta) and will have a link to the badge page.
Later will add the actual details of the status changes to the alert message.

I have moved the bug badge out of reserve and into the main stream. Basically, I will assign a color level like the others, based on who has made a good actionable bug report for UNIX.COM. "Good" means screenshots, links, and even details from web dev tools our the HTML source code. So far,... (0 Replies)
