If you have GSAK 8, you can do some neat things on your profile page with badges. If you like statistics and numbers, you will love this. BadgeGenBeta is the macro you want to download. If you haven't upgraded to 8.1, then once you download the macro and try to run it, you'll have a popup that will take you to the patch. See my public profile for an idea of what this macro can do.

Very fun, though there are some interesting quirks such as the macro doesn't count the Groundspeak Block Party as a Mega Event. I can't figure out how to assign "Night Cache" status to all the night caches I've done (I only got credit for five and the macro suggested I assign Night Cache status to several of the FUNdamentals Events, so perhaps it's keying off a certain cache attribute that many cachers don't assign). Also, the "belt" calculation assigns points for FTFs and I got credit for zero FTFs, which I know isn't right, but it's also not at cavyguy's and capra hircus' level. I'll never move up another level for "the author" because I'm at 97 words for an average log and with 5200+ finds behind me, raising that average by three words per log will be nigh impossible. Also, it's interesting to be at the sapphire level for letterbox hybrids and EarthCaches, yet only be at silver for multi caches. There must not be very many CITOs hosted out there, because diamond status can be achieved by attending a dozen of those events. Thanks for the information. I downloaded the patch, ran the macro, and added the badges to my profile page for fun. I wonder what the upper limit for character count on one's profile page is? It takes a lot of html to display all the information.

A number of the EduVents had the night cache attribute selected.

A number of the EduVents had the night cache attribute selected. The "help" routine offered up several events as night cache options, but I excluded them because while they did occur at night, they weren't physical outdoor night caches.

I tried too but my gsak database is currently messed up by something I did so it won't be shown to the public until after I get that fixed. But it is neat to see all the badges and stuff. I ended up several belt levels below blazingpathways even with more finds.

I was viewing my gsak user notes and found this in the ones that were being identified as night caches for badge gen
<br><br> BadgeGenNightCache
and this for those that I identified as not being night caches
<br><br> BadgeGenNotNightCache
I'm thinking that adding this to all my night caches that don't have the night cache attribute will probably work.
