How is it that I have accumulated 26,334 points, yet have never appeared on US or Global Overall Leaderboards?
I've been on the US and Global Weekly Leaderboards every week.
I am now up to 30,374 points, yet I am still missing from the new U.S. & Global Overall Leaderboards for 2008-11-17, but again I appear in both of the Weekly Leaderboards.

One of the problems with the Leaderboards is that it is impossible to search for oneself, or anyone else (see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmOdN... ). Instead, you must browse page-by-page, and there are 250 pages, each of which will take about one minute, because the refresh time is about one-half minute, even with my T3 modem. Thus, it should (hypothetically) take about 4 hours to look at just one of the four leaderboards, and 16 hours to view all of them.
I searched in the vicinity of 30,373, which was your approximate point total as of midnight last Sunday, 11/16/2008. You should have been ranked 1564 on the US Overall Leaderboard (page 79) and 2662 on the Global Overall Leaderboard (page 134) and you are missing. I also searched near 25,260, which should have been your point accumulation at the end of the previous week (11:59 p.m. Sunday, 11/9/2008). You would have been ranked 2413 on the US Overall Leaderboard (page 121) and 4084 on the Global Overall Leaderboard (page 205), but you are missing again.
My only suggestion is to report the problem to Yahoo! Answers (see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Apeos... ).
