Can\'t figure out why our team (Scotland) has the following discrepancy - an apparent shortfall of 368k in the team\'s total credit.

The team total today is 35,160,315 here:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/team_display.php?teamid=5138

Adding up all members\' credits gives 35,528,889 here:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/team_members.php?teamid=5138&sort_by=total_credit&offset=0

As I keep tabs on our numbers, can\'t think this has happened in the past. The only change this week is that a new member joined with 894,424 credits (as of today).
Just wondering if the shortage is related to archived results? Numbers added up correctly to the day before the new guy joined.

Wait 24 hours to get past the time when the credits scripts run. Whenever that is.

Understand, Les, although the new member first appeared 2 days ago
so we have seen 2 credit updates with 368k short in team total.

Hopefully after next run.

Did anyone go away? Unlike other Projects, CPDN credits move with the participant. Just a thought.

Nope. No leavers.

Just checked today\'s numbers. Still 368,575 \"lost\" from the team total.
Also double-checked numbers on Feb 2nd (Tuesday) the day before the new member arrived.
That day\'s equation balances, discounting a minor rounding difference of 2.
Nothing to do with archived records which are only detailed model results anyway.
Aggregating the new guy\'s host level credits equals his current total, again with just a small difference of 2.

Checked another team with recent new members. Difference again but this time the other way
- i.e. their team total is inflated.

It appears that team totals are updated by separate scripts instead of simply aggregating
member\'s totals once these have been updated. Team credits aggregated from a different source?

Very odd.
