Problem with sorting via country is that a lot of people don't include their country in their profile stats. Which is something I think is pretty petty not to do.
True dat ... but I think we would also agree that this is a relatively small percentage that for whatever reason leave their location a blank on the counter page. In any case .. this could also be 'useful' IE they're not making efforts to meet and greet etc.
If people are genuinely forgetting, then a simple 'nudge' by way of automagic suggestion from server side should fix that up. ESPECIALLY if they already have the country on their profile. Funnily enough, my experience is that members are more likely to put country on their leaderboard entry that on their profile ... the only thing I can think of is that as people get more comfortable with the forum, they relax and open up and join the leaderboard, but
never return to update their profile after initial registration. I would encourage all active members to review their profile regularly.
And something I have been really wanting for a long time now, but thought it not worth mentioning, but here I am posting, so ...
Yeah I know that its REAL NICE not having to scroll in 2axis at the mo. Sure Columns are a premium, BUT ... there are solutions to that also, EG having checkboxes to pick which columns are displayed, or having a 'basic' list and 'advance' (full) list ... or just having the existing stuff to the left, and any new fancy fluffy stuff to the right ....
How about another column for 'harvested, tested and on hot standby' ?
I think perhaps that the existing column would best be renamed to this, and then the 'new' column being 'in production'.
Heres some of the reasons why:
1/ as we all know, harvesting of cells is like a straight line (on a graph), whereas production count is more like a 'stepped' line, IE jumping in big numbers very infrequently.
2/ then there are 'special' cases like me and some others who use cartridge style packs -- they are VERY easy to expand or reconfigure, or RELOAD. I have hundreds of cells sitting at 3.92V ready to rock. many many times I make up a temporary battery, small and not so small, from this very ready stock. currently there is no way to differentiate how many are live ... I consider them all to be in 'production'.
... this is all very clumsy feeling, trying to explain in text. I hope it made sense anyways.
