Make it the homepage of your browser(s). Then whenever you open your browser(s), you can't forget to open UnityAnswers.

I would also suggest that you click on a Question every day. I'm not sure if this version of UnityAnswers (we're using the old StackOverflow 1.0 code) has it - but the new StackOverflow 2.0 code doesn't register that you visited the site unless you visit a Question also (or Answer or something). Just viewing the homepage doesn't count, alas.

Oh... That explains it, then. :/ No wonder I haven't gotten the Enthusiastic badge yet. Hmm, I wonder if making a question your homepage counts.

I guess UA also has it then. Bummer. I was annoyed when I first noticed that bug in SO. I had "member for 90 days, visited 88 days - 5 consecutive ". Sigh...

Oh, the pain. Also, UA needs to upgrade to SO 2.0. I want to see how many days consecutive I have as of right now. >:) Any idea if or when that's going to happen?

Don't hold your breath, waiting for Unity to upgrade to 2.0. http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/14866/when-will-the-unityanswers-codebase-be-updated/14879#14879

For what it's worth - I did it the insane way. I logged in every day for (more than o.O) 100 days, mainly to answer (far too many) questions

@$$anonymous$$ike - and I notice that, like @Eric5h5, you only answered Questions, never posing one of your own. We need a badge of Uberness for people who hit 20$$anonymous$$ without even asking a Question. :)

Write a windows tray application. Once a day launch a browser window with Unity Answers as the URL :p

Haha, I like that. Unfortunately, as Cyclops pointed out, just visiting the site doesn't trigger the hit meter. You have to actually click on a question in order for it to register.

Hahah, that could be written too I guess. But now one needs to start weighing up is all the effort for the Fanatic badge worth it?? :p

Haha, I suppose that's true. If I knew how, I'd say it was worth it! Better than taking the time and expending the effort to manually visit the site for 100 days straight. :P

Or you could rent a server to run it. :P That would be a waste though. lol Good luck!
