    The overall standings and standings in a category isn't regularaly updated. In fact, I think it's been months since they've been updated. Nothing you can do about it.

    Which number are you talking about? The BA%? That is a percentage, based on the # of Best Answers divided by the # of total answers. It does not change each time you get a Best Answer, only when you get enough of them to raise your percentage. And that takes a lot of Best Answers, especially as you answer more and more questions.

    If you are talking about any other particular number, you need to come back to the question and add that data to the 'additional details' so we can give you a more complete answer.
