H-index

Post by Madbranch »

Hey there.
Did a search but it didn't find it, though I'm sure this would've been suggested already, or maybe it's even implemented but I'm blind, but i would really love having H-index somewhere on the profile. Like maybe under games or directly on profile page.
I'm currently passively working towards 30 games played 30 times and i always when I want to check, I have to count down how many games I've played 30 times.
H-index would be lovely for that. Maybe even some achievements added for that. Like 10x10 for 10 games played 10 times. Diversification for 25 games played 25 times. Jack of all trades for 50 games played 50 times etc.

1) Interesting idea, but you should read the pinned post labeled "read this first" for directions on how to submit it. Simply posting in this subforum doesn't get anything into the pipeline.

2) You might be interested in this thread about H-Index.

In fact, someone in that thread had this same thought:

Ed.: The forums are currently broken in a way attaching a link to text isn't working. Here is the H-Index thread: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38974

Ed. 2: Until the bug is fixed, you can open either link by right-clicking and using open in new tab/window or the equivalent action with a long-press on a mobile device.

Thanks for the feedback. Really should have read the sticky first. My bad. Mods feel free to delete this thread.

And how search didnt show that is weird. Probably due to formatting as "-" denotes finding posts without that word it was possibly just searching for h without the word index?

On unrelated note, links do seem to work for me on app.

'H' would be too short assuming the '-' is ignored. The phpBB search function won't search fewer than 3 characters. The phpBB search function doesn't seem to implement searching for specific strings wrapped in quotes. I mentioned in the other thread that I also could not find the entire string "H-Index." It may not have existed before that thread, but I still can't find it now that there are two threads about it.
