Anyone else viewing these and thinks there just a little wrong ?

Wow..there are really messed up. Kind of scared me for a moment when I first looked at them. :confused:

Yup. Dyy's stats server, every once in a while, gets a kink in its cable.

He should be able to straighten it out, soon as he notices it.

OOPS! Just read a post over on the DF board. Seems the stats format got changed w/o notice and ALL the stats boards are fubar. :eek:

From DF site, and not their Forum :confused:

- The graphical bars on the stats page are now drawn in a slightly different way which is faster for the server, and the bars on your personal page of your personal progress when you login are realtime again. This should also speed up statistics computation so we will likely return to computing stats every 10 minutes (instead of the current 30) if all goes well

Many STATS sites barf... more at 11 :(

Ugh..sounds like a pain. Good luck! :)

that is dated 9/4
why would it work for 4 days and then stop?

Well I looked it over...
They put in a stupid COMMA in the TEXT file the computers use to generate 3rd party STATS, rather than fixing their code to DISPLAY the damn COMMA for every 3rd digit for humans to READ when visiting their site! :rolleyes:

IF you just use the old Perl trick to strip it ( $data =~ s/,//gi; )
the problem goes away instantly... :D

Jeff (Dy[TAB] if you're Colin) fixed his stats. ;)

He said he took the oportunity to flush the database...
It was up to 4 million records!

Thanks for saving our butts again Dyyryath! :D
:notworthy
