I understand there was something wrong with the credit calculation system, and maybe I was one of those getting too much (I haven't followed how to work out what I should get), but a drop from 585 or so average credit to 210.82 is a bit drastic! Has something gone wrong?

RAC appears to be broken. So I shouldn't take too much notice of that.

CPDN has recently been revalued so that you now get about 94 credits per trickle (it used to be 76). You can check what you are actually earning and see if it is being correctly credited, but you'll need to do that manually, and bear in mind that there is a time lag before credits are updated (I think an hour or two but possibly longer).

yeah, I guess my new stats calcs lose the ability for RAC. I have put back the "original" way which will allow RAC. If there are "illegal extra credits" granted they will be adjusted on the two-hourly "overall stats" calc (which will not affect RACs). I suppose it's possible RACs will be slightly higher for those rans that pop up with extra credit, but that seems to be a minor issue.

Sorry, I don't know what I pushed that made it go in the middle of a word. i was saying ..
4 so far today, which should make more than the 179.24 which is shown. Perhaps it's petty of me to care :)
Thanks anyway.

the "recent average credits" were offline for a few days or a week, but they should be back now.

I notice that everyone's RAC seem to have dropped like mine, and I'm now down to 188.39 despite 5 trickles yesterday. Are you sure it's working right?
In fact the more I try and make sense of my stats, the less I understand them, so maybe something is wrong really just with my set. But I see that "results" are still temporarily disabled; does that affect the RAC?
