Without wanting to look at the entire data and coming to my own conclusion, is the sample size big enough to make any estimations on the effects of the trainer level?

I've been working on this and age, and both are getting there, but are still pretty noisy. The age one should be good enough to release pretty soon, but trainer level is rough.

Specifically, we have a ton of data with level 4 and 5 trainers (there's 22 training type-skill combinations that train at a high enough rate and have enough data to compare the training rate between them), but level 6 is still very iffy. Levels 1-3 and 7 are basically non-existent (1-2 users with level 7, none with levels 1-3). So the only comparison I have any confidence in for now is the level 4 vs level 5 one. So all of you hoarding those level 6 and 7 trainers should join up

I assume you already know that (didn't read the whole thread), but just in case.

I recently changed my trainer level. I just saw this project and wanted to contribute. I submitted roughly 30 weeks of training results at once. Problem is, it seems to think my trainer has been the same for the entire duration. Only the last 5-6 weeks did training happen under my actual trainer.

PS: For people making the mistake of submitting with an unsupported language, I hope you find/found a way to automatically disregard those inputs. Hopefully one day you have it translated and that would be a big boost in the number of people submitting results.

Peace.

One update, we have a new version of the greasemonkey script. It is much better at catching errors, so if anything goes wrong during your update, it'll let you know now so you can try to resend. It also passes your current language so that for now, it should give an error if you're using the wrong language, but eventually it will also allow us to work on translators, etc, so that you don't have to change language every time you submit.

You can install the new version here: (http://bb-training.comuf.com/add_bb-training.user.js), or from the main (http://bb-training.comuf.com/) page.

This should greatly cut down on the possibility of incorrect data getting in, so please update! (After updating, you should see that you're using version 1.0.14 of the script if you look in your extensions/GM scripts page).

I'm a supporter and when I was trying to send the training data I got this message for one of the weeks: "Training upload FAILED! This often means there are too many connections or the Default Language is not 'English (US)'. Please try again in a few minutes."

All other data got the OK message. I tried again a few minutes later but the same thing happened again.

PS: I set the language to English (US) and I am using latest script update.

It can sometimes take a lot of tries, especially if a lot of people are sending data at the same time. If it keeps happening, and for just one training week, could you send me the text of what's shown in that week's update?

Same here, updated the chrome plug-in and finally got mine through. With the old one it would say it went through....but secretly it didn't....

Anyone have ideas how we could get more people to use it?
I think it is worth publishing at the news page, but it is up to the BBs to add this.
Many users (especially the new ones), does not go to forums at all, and are not aware of any thread at all, and of course nor this specific one...
