I have been active on MemRise for years and I prefer to vary which course I learn on week by week, rather than keeping to one course. (I even like to keep to a subject [eg Volcanoes and Earthquakes] for a prolonged period, learning and revising on several different courses at the same time).
I finally reached 365 consecutive days of learning and was hoping for:
a) a 1 year medal (a bit like the daily goal [continuous days on a single course] is honoured) and
b) the counter to keep going, but a week later it is still showing 365 days. (Can it be that it doesnât expect that loyalty or it canât do the maths?!)
Does anyone here or on the team (eg @Lien, @OliviaZavala or @Joshua) know what the policy is?
And is there any chance of badges for everyone who has achieved this in the past as well as now?
It wonât ever increase beyond â365 daysâ @DW7 because, as the counter heading says, it shows your learning history for the last 365 days ie itâs a rolling 365 day period.
On reaching â365 daysâ, though, a or a would be niceâŚalthough, sometimes, I half expect mine to show a !
My streak is blocked since last year or something - I know because Iâve been away for a couple of days every now and then, and the streak did not budge. Not that I would care, to be honest, I am one of those strange creatures with strong will and intrinsic motivation
Perhaps saying the obvious, if you click on the âmoreâ under the streak month calendar, on the next page you should have three numbers, your total, your best (longest) streak and your current streak.
I think i made that 197 days streak in 2014⌠I donât have a badge as I blocked all those badge goals streaks scripts. I mean the blue (Pro) graphic.
EDIT: big change!!! was it that somebody looked into my graphs? the longest streak changed to 136! lol. Itâs moving!
Just to clarify, I have been talking about âcontinuous days of attendingâ (ie learning on) MemRise for which we do not get any badges, just a personal record of streaks (current and best) but no one can see that score. Itâs for that reason I have been advocating it would be nice to have a 1-year badge.
We do however get a coloured circular badge (in 5 point increments) for a âdaily goalâ, which is for continuous days of learning on a single course, which anyone can see.
For instance @sircemloud is currently â245â (well done!), and I decided to stop when I reached a round â100â on a Geography course.
To clarify: I did also mean the blue Pro graphic. There my longest streak changed today from 197 (which was as said from 2014) to 130 or something, and the current streak is 60 - I have no idea if that is true or not:-)). I look at the pro graphics often, to see my reaction time(s). I love that graphic (âtimes of day when you learn bestâ.)
I donât have any badge because I am not using the daily goals (I am using a script blocking goals, the moon/sun and the clock.)
well, a badge for one year in which one had learn events every day? youâre probably right. But⌠look how often people complain about broken streaks.
Thanks for your clarification @Hydroptere, I wasnât sure.
Glad you find uses for your âProâ membership.
But⌠look how often people complain about broken streaks.
I agree, it is a serious point that the streaks sometimes donât get updated, whether the continuous days or the single course streak (and badge system) but I have found that it is eventually corrected by the end of the day. Recently there hasnât been a problem, so hopefully the issue has been fixed.
Lets hope for a â1-year continuous learning on MemRiseâ badge or cup. (I wonder how many times we need to continue to request this, to fill the blank circle that says âMore badges to come!â)
I kept a screen shot of my best streak back on 27 January @ 365 days - though it was earned sometime before that. Today itâs showing 266 days as best streak. Any clues why that might be? I also agree with you DW7 - there should be a badge or something for continuous learning across all courses.
I think itâs all to do with the ârolling 365 daysâ period and where in that period a break in learning fell. What does your âLearning statsâ tile look like? An extract from mine is shown below. It currently shows both my âbestâ and âcurrentâ streaks as â250 daysâ (not too different from your figure of â266 daysâ) as a result of a 4-day break in October when I moved home. Prior to that break, Iâm fairly sure I had made the"365 days" milestone but I canât remember when exactly that would have stopped showing as my âbest streakâ (ie in the last 365 days).
Your figures would suggest that you last had a break sometime around the middle of October and, if so, I donât really know why your best streak was still showing as â365 daysâ on 27 January. In the 365-day period 28 January 2015 to 27 January 2016, (with a break in mid-October 2015), I would have thought your âbest streakâ at that point would have been something around 260, ie the number of days between 27 January and mid-October (when the assumed break occurred).
Iâd love to see a learning streak badge for consistent Memrise use, as well.
The badge we have now is for a goal set in an individual course. With this badge, I find that as I get near the end of a course with a long streak, I try to drag out the last few lessons as long as possible to keep the streak going. So, instead of planting the next 15 words, I water until Iâve met the point goal, and then switch to another course.
If we had a badge for overall Memrise use, Iâd be more inclined to focus on the new badge and finish courses instead of dragging them out. Letâs reward using Memrise every day, regardless of which course itâs in!
The current course badge means one has to choose a long course in the first place!
The only pointless trick would be to reset learning on a difficult level to reach your goal.
So yes! @OliviaZavala, please can we have a âContinuous days on MemRiseâ badge (if only the 1 year status) so others can see our loyalty and persistence (as they canât see our learning streak or graph.).
I think Iâm in remedial mode (once again). Canât currently copy my graph in, but my figures are:
Total = 328âŚBest streak = 265âŚCurrent streak = 63. Itâs very weird because I didnât have any break last October - canât even remember when I last had a break. My most recent break was 27 March to 2 May inclusive.
