SOrry for the delayed response.

The Builder will Auto-Update.

You need to make sure tha it is set to do so

On your Menu Bar find Setup>Configuration>Auto Update

Check all 4 of the top boxes. Make sure the box for Proxy server is UNCHECKED and go ahead and click on "Reset URL"

There is another thread with screenshots of all the windows to do this!

<-------------

handy, Eh?

If you sign up for City Game Tracker (http://www.citygametracker.com/) and also City Information Terminal (http://www.cityinfoterminal.com/) (which is another one of those badge tracking sites) they can be "linked" to automatically track the badges you are awarded as they are awarded to you (providing CGT is running whilst playing. CGT will also update CIT when you select badge titles so you can even auto-track the badges you already have.... Except the gladiator ones which you can't select...

EDIT: I've noticed that HeroStats will also link directly to and update City Information Terminal too....
