It's possible that something has changed on the website in the last 12-15 hours

BladeD reports here that the commas have disappeared from the Accumlated Points displayed on the top ribbon.

Additionally my old web queries based on screen scrapes are inoperative. Not a problem as my data capture is now all ?&xml=true based.

[edit] sp.

Sadly, webqueries continue to fail. Up to point of getting the wanted pages to show in the preview screen [screenshot posted before], normally suppressed, things are fine, but then nothing comes across on import:



BTW, since that unannounced change, the top line on main web page looks misaligned both in Chrome [latest] and even more in Firefox. The language selector appears positively borged, half off the page edge and the Log Out is offset downwards.

Edit: The thread title really requires an extension in the form... "Please Discuss, amongst yourselves... we'll do anyway what we want to do, change without notice". Took a crash course xml schema designing and VBA coding. The front project/global pages are disastrous and inconsistent... a day where there is no results does not generate current day field data [why not simply populate with zero?]. Also the data somehow lands in reverse order which has more coding consequences. The history pulls were in the end, after the learned and heavily bruised kneecaps from falling and getting up, a piece of cake [courtesy of the superb Office 2013 mapping to table import automation]. From the imports, reversed engineered the data back to it's old form, so the main charting engine did not need recoding. Only main thing to do is find what the names of all these maps are so they can be put in place of the web-queries and then update the scheduled script.

Knreed, where do I send the bill ;?.. (and please hands off now or you find me blowing the main fuse :!)

As per the edited-in para above... Too Late, could not wait for something to happen or I would have lost noon data.

(Will the French protest there's commas and not spaces ;?)

Edit: Yes, the old web-queries worked again , which was a good test to compare the old-way processed data with the xml pulls [which work, granted, quite a bit faster]. Pressure off kettle, can slow down now, but as I'm at it, will now convert the whole shebang, and plan for removing the intermediate reverse engineering step.

No problem here.
But, as explained earlier in this thread, the correct language parameter is coded in all stats queries involved in my daily stats routine.
And in case of emergency I know how to quickly recover the correct setting if necessary.

@ knreed
A similar problem also exists with XML data for individual members. Layout varies where:

• Member has yet to uploaded any results
  
• Member has yet to earn any badge, Fields are ProjectName; Url; Description.
  

The first instance is unimportant but the second can cause issues.

As SekeRob says, it would be helpful if empty fields could be populated with a zero.
