Things don't happen all of a sudden, just got a news notice that indeed yesterday there were webchanges: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=356

A piece of the action:
This news item could have included the browser close and cache clear actions advise. Maybe next time "If you have trouble, do xyz".

Hi keithhenry,

Regarding team challenges, these items were fixed in the latest release:

• Corrected the problem where team challenge ranking shown My Team and Challenge pages sometimes disagreed.
  
• Corrected the problem were a member cannot create a challenge that starts more than 30 days in the future
  

The rest are still being worked on...

Thanks,

Erika, I was able to create the new challenges for June today (5/1)confirming the second item. As for the first, it had been looking fine but I noticed this today. After creating a new challenge, it showed in the list of challenges as having a rank of 1. When I opened the challenge, it showed a rank of 0. I think this is another place where the same problem occurs, not a bug in the fix. This is looking at the list of Upcoming Challenges and the challenge.

While creating the new challenges, noticed a small nit. When entering the start and end dates, I normally clink on each field to bring up the calendar display. The first of the next month normally displays so I can just click on it to populate the Start Date and avoid typos. As for the End Date, the end of the next month doesn't show so I would click on the down arrow (not the left or right arrows) just to the right of the Month name. That used to scroll the month down to the next month where I could click on the last day of that month for the end date. Now, it acts just like the left and right arrows where it pops up a window with a list of months and years that I have to click on for the desired month and then click on OK just to get the month to display. Not sure when this changed but I believe it predated these two changes.

Erika, I think either something broke or the changes made the problem worse. The challenges I had created back in early April for May started today. On the My Team page, they all showed a rank of 1 but showed a rank of 0 when you open the challenge itself. Also, despite starting today (the 1st), none of the teams had any points, results or run time even though the end of day stats have run. That seems new. Either challenges didn't get updated at all or something new broke.

The technical team is aware of these team challenge issues and is actively investigating them. When we know an estimate for when it will be fixed, I will let you know.

Thanks,
ErikaT
