    RZ, I'm really amazed at how long this particular bug has stayed around. It's been well over a month, maybe two. I would think that it's simply a small programming error. The actual math would be something like,

    CurrentScore - MostRecentSundayMidnightScore = PointsThisWeek.

    Instead, the calculation of what a person's score was on the most recent weekly update doesn't appear to be working. It looks to be an incorrectly calculated date that is too far in the past. (It's not a static date, because it doesn't stay 100% progressive from a static date.)

    Due to the high volume of questions and emails about the incorrect stats, some of us have resorted to noting on our profile that this feature is still broken. Some people are being accused of points gaming because of these incorrect stats.

    It will be great to see it fixed.

    The points per week hasn't been resetting properly since June. The Yahoo Answers team is aware of this, and they said they are trying to fix. But, it seems to be taking a VERY long time. I'm hoping it will be fixed next week.

    I nonetheless do not see the place all indicators pointed to Sting final week. that's in simple terms what human beings needed to think of. i did not see something comparable between final weeks video and the ninety seven video of Sting. confident it replaced into darkish and there replaced into thunder and lightening or regardless of, yet that would not lead them to an identical video like many human beings have been thinking. Sting additionally hasn't used pointed boots in the time of his occupation so the boots don't have something to do with who that's. the guy interior the video did not have boots with risers on the backside. Sting wears boots with risers. Risers make the guy look an inch or so taller than they are truthfully. So back the boots did not make it look like Sting. human beings in simple terms want it to be Sting so undesirable that they've been arising with something so as that they might have faith it replaced into him. i'm able to understand that. yet tonights video made it sparkling that it replaced into The Undertaker. Who else has been in a grave? i'm particularly confident Sting has in no way been in a grave. however the video for sure pronounced "There ain't no grave, can carry my physique down". So if it seems to be every person else now, it may be completely stupid. BQ: i don't probable care who that's myself, regardless of if it must be The Undertaker now or that's going to be completely lame. BQ2: the only huge names i'm able to arise with are HBK, The Rock(i don't think of that's going to be him), or Austin. it ought to be Diesel yet that would not be that huge in my opinion. i know who i'm hoping it rather is not. that's obvious that the wwe has Justin Beiber or regardless of in case you spell his call, making a song at WM. i could desire that they don't additionally carry him in to host. i will for confident not watch WM if that occurs. Edit: it could rain in a wasteland. It in simple terms would not take place very many times. I somewhat have even seen it snow in a wasteland. back it in simple terms would not take place that many times.

    It seems to give a bi-weekly total. I know I'm an answering maniac, but not to that extent!

    HAVING POINTS IS COOL IF YOU CAN REDEEM THEM FOR EVEN COOLER STUFF, BUT I THINK JUST BEING ABLE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF IN THIS TYPE OF FORMAT AND THE WEALTH OF VALID, SOLID, ACCURATE INFORMATION IS IMMEASURABLE. I THINK THIS SPACE HAS TRULY HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE SO, POINTS BE DAMNED, LET'S HAVE FUN!!!
