Should you be able to see yourself on the leaderboard? I can't.?

Also last night It seemed like I was around 140 today 200. Could sixty people really have moved ahead of me in one night?

Update:

Actually after further review, I still cant't find myself ( gor tired of looking) but it seems to be much more than a week off. Where's the friendly neighborhood hamster when u need him?

Update 2:

finally found myself at 219. Apparently, there was an update early this morning. Given that there have been changes day to day, I 'm theorizing daily update. I will watch and report back tomorrow.

    There seems to be an awful lot of questions about the leaderboard. It's updated weekly but some of the numbers, such as the numbers of questions and answers you've given, are accurate now while the points aren't. I'll bet they have it straightened out right away though.

    Well, baby, according to my points I should have been up around 137, but upon further inspection, I was found around 162. I'm thinkin it doesn't auto-update as we go. If it did, we'd never have the opportunity to read so much as a single character in a name, much less find our own. Why? Consider the people, the points added, the points deducted, and how much of that goes on each second of every day....

    You're there. Somewhere. I promise (unless you suck) ;-)

    Not sure how often they are updating the board. I've gotten over 1000 points since they last updated the leader board. So the scores seem to be from about a week ago.

    yes 60 people very easily could have moved that far that fast depending on your ranking often you are ranked with others that have the same # points as you there may be 300 or 600 people all with 427 points if 60 of them got points they go up also don't forget the people who are below you but close all it taked is for them to get a best answer on you and POW there they are
