Question

Why does it show that i have less medals in total on my profile than my medals added up from all individual subjects? If you get what i mean.

Answer 1

Maybe you spent them?

Answer 2

Nop i havent ever spent my medals :P

Answer 3

im not sure then @TheSmartOne @sleepyjess

Answer 4

Did you every buy a title? @ElisaNeedsHelp

Answer 5

Never but ive had this problem even long ago

Answer 6

Every medal is a smartcent. If you bought a title then your smartcents would be lower.

Answer 7

Yeah but ive had this problem even before there was owlbucks

Answer 8

Did you stop studying a subject? Did you leave a section? If you did that then the section with the medals won't show up on the profile.

Answer 9

No but it doesnt add up all my medals in the total count

Answer 10

I have left all my sections except this one. Now look at my profile.

Answer 11

But with me in the diff sections it shows all and thats how i notice that in the total count in "Medals:" it only says 27 even though i have more

Answer 12

Is it that medals in a section are at a lower value than "Medals"

Answer 13

Are you talking about this?

Answer 14

That's how many medals you earned in that specific section.

Answer 15

That number will only show the medals from that section. Add them all up from all the sections and you'll get that number on your profile.

Answer 16

What are these medals then?

Answer 17

I think that this, http://prntscr.com/6vta4h , is all medals, including subtopics, meaning that those 3 or 4 medals you got in math subtopics will also be counted in math. I think this, http://prntscr.com/6vtab5 , is all of your medals you have currently, meaning if someone took one away, it will be taken off of that

Answer 18

Because i have more than that

Answer 19

I personally look at the right side to see how many medals I have, but when you go to the user list in a subject, you can see how many medals you have in that subject

Answer 20

this is more than 27

Answer 21

So idk

Answer 22

It's probably just a minor glitch.

Answer 23

Guess so lol it will forever be a glitch >;{

Answer 24

From your profiles do you see the same glitch on my profile?

Answer 25

No.

Answer 26

Answer 29

Answer 30

My medal count is off by about 500

Answer 31

I also have some medals in some smaller and less know sections.

Answer 32

I thought i was the only one

Answer 33

You are not the only one. I have seen the glitch many times on your profile and many others.

Answer 34

conflux's is over by about 100 lol

Answer 35

I hope thats what Openstudy fixes next besides getting an andriod app and including the chat room in their app

Answer 36

Answer 37

Omg that is so cool teach me

Answer 38

Teach you economics?

Answer 39

Teach me how to get medals that you dont even have to get :P

Answer 40

I can't teach you something that I don't know myself.

Answer 41

Lol

Answer 42

what do you mean?

Answer 43

There's a glitch that doesn't show how many medals you actually have.

Answer 44

This is a quite common problem and it is our everyone's problem. Just add up all the medals you have in all subjects. Dont look at these numbers, they are false.

Answer 45

You mean fake?

Answer 46

Or incorrect?

Answer 47

Or even inaccurate.

Answer 48

How about erroneous?
