To theblacksheep, Inferno or Erik
I'm writing a script to display my rank @ tbs (something like Sheep's !tbs command). I'm wondering if there's a special page to do that quickly or I'll have to read and extract the information from userstats.php which would be boring and waste of traffic?

I can write a small script for that.
Do you just need the number of challs solved and the rank or any other statistics?

tbs

Ranking

That scripts gives you the rank and the amount of solved challenges for every user.
[Rank : Solved Challenges]
If you want me to add something, tell me.

tbs

Hi!
I also need:
* Total number of challenges: (310)
* Unread news count
* Unread forum posts count
* Unread private messages count



Of course, all those values only for the logged user, something like:
http://www.bright-shadows.net/userdata.php?cookie=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
returning
RANK:CHALLS_SOLVED:TOTAL_CHALLS:UNREAD_NEWS:UNREAD_FORUM:UNREAD_PM

1:303:310:1:1:0

My program tbsnet.exe will do the rest. It shows a small window alerting me when:
- New challenges are uploaded
- I miss position(s) in the ranking
- There are new posts, PMs or news
The program installs an icon in the notification area (near the windows clock) and checks those values every X minutes (you can configure it, default 5 mins).

Phas.

Hey,

How about this really cool thing called : RSS Feeds

Thanks, time to write the script now
@Phas: when u finish that program and every user uses it we'll have a DDoS attack @ tbs

Ok, that's what I have done so far:

http://www.bright-shadows.net/userdata.php

If you are logged in and you haven't specified an username the data looks like this:

USER:RANK:CHALLS_SOLVED:TOTAL_CHALLS:UNREAD_NEWS:UNREAD_FORUM:UNREAD_PM

If you have specified an username you'll get the following data:

USER:RANK:CHALLS_SOLVED:TOTAL_CHALLS

Everything should work except for the UNREAD_PM.
I don't know why so far but the number can differ from the actual one.
It is going to be fixed as soon as I have figured it out.

In case there any problems with the data leave a message.

tbs

Can we have the total number of users also?

UPDATE

If you are logged in and you haven't specified an username the data looks like this:

USER:RANK:TOTAL USERS:CHALLS_SOLVED:TOTAL_CHALLS:UNREAD_NEWS:UNREAD_FORUM:UNREAD_PM

If you have specified an username you'll get the following data:

USER:RANK:TOTAL USERS:CHALLS_SOLVED:TOTAL_CHALLS

There is still the problem with the PM's

tbs

what happened to this script? is it gone permanently?
