You add up their individual stats and comes to 236,430 not Total credit 6,497,659....... ID: 54205 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 7 Jul 2008, 11:08:17 UTC Seems a bit strange - a team can't simply be erased form the stats and the points go to another team surely??? Surely it is technically possible. A glitch in DataBase. If suddenly Space Family gets Teddies' ID, my team gets Space Family's ID, someone else's team gets my team's ID and Teddies team name (because it lost an ID etc.) gets discarded, it would behave exactly like this. I wonder how many team IDs got shifted... The Rosetta team probably does not keep DB backups for that long. Peter ID: 54228 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Would be nice to hear something from the staff here about it though... Crunching In Memory Of My Dad ID: 54229 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I don't know why, but when catching up on posts after being out for the weekend, I saw the other post and not this one. I will plan to monitor and attempt to address the problem in the other thread. here's a link Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense ID: 54261 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
