Is it a good idea if we make some kind of badge to recognize Windows CE developers? (I’m not a developer so I’m not meaning myself)

What are the criteria for being awarded it to be?

Maybe we can be pragmatic and just say
“Released new software for Windows CE in the last year”
So then not all four would be eligible but it would widdle it down

Or what do your think ?
Like “H/PC Dev” badge for name?

Saying "in the last year" doesn't work because that would imply it expires and I don't want to police that.

I have added a new badge though, good idea.

Thank you for adding it.
Next thing:
*I'm NOT asking you to go out of your way to do any work OR coding*
But:
I was trying to get logged into HPC:Factor on my PowerMac G4 running Mac OS 10.5.8 and InterWebPPC browser (which is a variant of TenFourFox, which is a variant of Firefox 45, but with some features from newer Firefox versions backported

Anyway, I'm not able to login, it does give me the captcha, which is successful to run, but I keep getting error with username or password.

Again, I know this is ancient, I just wanted to know if you had any tips for me

Not an easy one to advise without seeing what it's doing.
First instinct is it's an encoding issue of it isn't ReCaptca failing.

I would have to screen share with you and look at it I suspect.

I find myself laughing maniacally at the featured SCL program of the day is a harmless virus clone that you can use to test the limits of your device.

Also I can’t do screen share on it but let me do more research first because I remember it working this year to be able to login. So let me try a few different versions on my end before I bug you for my intervention

Follow up:
It was user error on why I couldn't get the forum login working. I forgot I had to change my password after the forum password security routines got re-salted or what not.
So:
The HPC:Factor site/Admin Console both work on
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; FPR32; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 InterWebPPC/45.41.6 InterWebPPC/Debugging

Also, for multi-page threads, on desktop the "Page 1,2,3,4" appear at top and bottom for desktop, but not on mobile. Is there too much space taken to replicate the behavior on mobile? I have to scroll down to bottom to navigate pages

the error message never lies.

Glad you sorted it

This has probably been requested already, but could it be possible to add a feature that allows one to search the SCL by CPU architecture?

What do you want ? X86?

For example, it'd be cool to have everything in one place

a) This isn't related to the forum b) No. Use the device filter.

Since developing for H/PC can only be done in VB and C++, what about Windows Mobile?
I did port and release a tool I made to WM5 using Visual Studio 2008, in C#.
So, would that badge only count for CE and not WM?

Your radioactive tool program for .net actually worked on my Windows CE 6.0 HP t5540 thin client.
Anyway, that post was just my suggestion as a user. The exact criteria is the purview of C:Amie. But I was under the impression it was more of a recent “snapshot” thus to encourage more development ?
