Welcome to World Community Grid on Facebook. You are probably wondering, what does this application actually do?

Profile box

Display your World Community Grid statistics in your profile sidebar. You can customise the box by choosing between global, team and personal statistics. You can show your badges, and there are lots of other options to fine-tune your very own profile box.

Your profile box will update automatically every day.

Profile tab

You can add a whole new tab to your profile, showing all of your statistics, badges and certificates. This is a great way of showing off achievements that don't fit into your profile box. To add the tab, go to your profile and click on the new tab button:

Info tab

Facebook lets you list your interests on the Info tab of your profile. Now you can feature your favourite World Community Grid projects there as well.

If you have too many favourite projects to show all the details, you can just list the names instead.

Wall posts

Wall posts about your new badges and certificates are the best way of introducing your friends to World Community Grid without nagging or annoying anyone. It's a great way to track your own progress, too!

Certificates

Certificates are awarded when your points total reaches a new milestone (badges are for computer time). This means your certificate represents your entire contribution to World Community Grid, and members with very fast computers can compete for high scores. Certificates are awarded at various milestones. The early milestones are closer together, and they get further apart until half a million points. After that, you get a new certificate every half million points.

If you don't have a certificate yet, they look like this:

If you earned certificates before you linked your account on Facebook, then those certificates will be undated.

Currently there is only one certificate design. Expect to see more designs in the future.

Questions

Is this application complete?

All the current features should work perfectly, but more features and improvements will be added over the coming months. The application is very new, so please report any problems you experience.

How do I remove the info tab section, or any other of the features added to my profile?

Use the Facebook application settings.

Who gets the blame, who gets the praise?

There is a semi-official application, but it is rather limited.
