Not sure where I should have asked this, and I dont feel like it is new thread worthy because it is just a silly question.

 

Since this website is called xbox360achievements.org.

 

360. Not Durango, 720, infinity, what ever the hell the other rumors are.

 

Is anything going to change when the new xbox comes out? I feel like the site will lose a lot of traffic if it appears outdated to the previous xbox.

I assume you don't frequent the FAQ forums ;).

 

Brought up quite a bit lately, they'll cover for it. Nothing official has been said, but they'll likely change the URL to something more relevant and have the old one forward to the new one.

for your score to update you need to be on the site leaderboards, which is done automatically, provided you fulfill some criteria. basically, you need 50 posts, be actively posting, i.e., at least 1 post every 60 days, and to have your live profile set to public. you currently have 44 posts, so when you hit 50 you will be added to the leaderboards within 6-12 hours and your score will refresh roughly every 6 hours after that.

 

all of this is answered in much more detail in the sticky, found HERE.

Well I looked through this first and didnt see anything. I have noticed my post count has stopped at 33 for some reason. I know for a fact its wrong...and when I look at my profile I should have 38-39 according to my history.

 

Your post count is reading 39 posts as of right now. (8:45 EST) There are certain areas in the forums that do not contribute to post count, so if you have been posting in those areas, it will not increase.

Is there going to be a new website for the xbox one or is it just going to be this one?

 

The domain name will change (but i believe x360a will still be there as a redirect) and there will be a few cosmetic changes as we rebrand to something that better encompasses everything we'll be doing. This should all be rolling out in the next couple of weeks with the launch of the XB1.

Yeah I was in OT. Seems with forums I can spend 10 minutes before posting trying to fix a problem and as soon as I post boom I will have realized the problem.

FYI: I clicked the signature request link and it brought me to an error message.

 

It is working fine for me when I click on it

 

Until a mod comes around to update it, this is what you're looking for:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=503718

 

I thought that updated automatically for anyone who posts at least once in the last 60 days (There is a lag of a few hours before it updates)

Thanks kaleido. I've got the FAQ updated with the correct link now :)

You're thinking of leaderboards and gamercards. VividChaos was asking about an invalid link in the FAQ. kaleido provided the correct link and I've updated the FAQ to reflect the correct link.

You need to qualify for the site leaderboards to have your gamercard show on your account. Everything you need to know about this can be read HERE:)
