Hello. There's something odd going on there. First: According to my account info my RAC is 94,247.19 and i am supposed to be in 5% top participants, but if I look at Statistics->Top participants I am not there between voicesurfr and ManuelJC. (If I sort table by Total credit and go to offset 220 I can find myself at position 232 with correct RAC and totals.) But that's not all. If I have table sorted by RAC and go bit deeper, there are at offset 60 two users with badge "top 25%" while all others are with badge "top 5%". So my question is, what's wrong (if any) and if ti is possible to fix it. Many thanks. |

Hello. Yes, I have seen this before. It is related to caching of the web pages to reduce server load. Caching was set to several hours so I reduced it to several minutes. That appears to have fixed the first problem. The second problem is because badges are only assigned once per day but credits are continuously being updated. So those two out of place entries of "top 25%" are from yesterdays badges, and they will get updated to "top 5%" later today when rankings are recomputed. |
