Aggravation with Highscores (Staff Question)
 

I was just wondering if any of you could explain why this happens? It has caused me to lose out on some high score positions as you can see. Normally it doesn't bother me, I do still get the gold, but It would be nice to be able to sit in the top spot on the boards that I have earned.

These are a few of my scores in comparison to highscores as they are displayed on my arcade homepage::

Alot of the time, when I complete a game and the score is sent out to the server, instead of redirecting me to the leaderboards it brings me to this re-direct page:::

If it helps any, when I go to the leaderboards these are the scores that it shows me as my highest. So for some reason, when I hit the re-diect page it doesn't hit the leaderboards at all but the server recognizes it to a degree?::

EDIT:::::



Shortly after I posted this question, I trumped my own Spazewalk score and it let me submit it. This makes me question it even more. Why sometimes the redirection and other times no re-direction at all? Also, If it helps, It isn't time dependent. It brings me to that re-direct screen in the morning, afternoon, and the night.

It's the same for everyone, the scores on the leaderboard/high scores list often don't tally. So I'd say it's nothing more than a stubborn caching issue. Because I've seen them show the correct person then revert to the previous one before.

Its not a huge issue and it's not something I'm overly worried about. I only brought it up because it really has only seemed to be happening since the last leaderboard reset and it's happening about nine out of ever ten games. Just figured I'd point it out rather than just let it set. Goodluck with the eventual fix. Also, thank you for your time.

Your senses are wrong, Kylie. I'm simply telling Azazel how it is :) I've noticed the high scores not updating/switching back and forth myself. Even when a cheater's score has been deleted it will still show up again at times so like I said, it would seem to be a caching issue.
