Well, I see my 'longest streak' has reset itself back to 1d - despite it being totally out of my control..
----------------------------------------In the week leading up to the 'scheduled data centre outage', I'd increased my buffers to 'take me over the hump', only for that to be scuppered by the 'unscheduled data centre outage' in the lead-up. Oh well, I suppose it'd have reset itself due to the 'scheduled data centre outage' anyway (again, despite that being out of the crunchers hands...).  |

It's a silly stat. It is totally out of your control. It isn't about returning a result, but about having a valid result. I've had days where I've returned many a result, but my wingman hadn't, and thus no valid for the day. I really don't know why they implemented this stat before the handover. It really is a weird stat that will only get users mad, and doesn't really contribute anything to either organization or the volunteer.

I would have wanted staff to spend time fixing bugs and deficiencies rather than coding that up. Cheers   |

Cheers I TOTALLY agree with all that's been said, and I certainly don't want anyone focusing on it over and above, getting the higher priorties (of which, there are numerous), fixed. I just rhoguht I'd highlight it, to emphasise as to how 'out of our control' (and thus, useless) this stat is. |

I know some of the English used by those in Scotland can be a bit hard for those of us in the United States Midwest to comprehend, This is certainly a word with which I am not familiar. I would chalk it up to a regional dialect.  Cheers Edit: Tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Joe, I'm usually pretty good with proof reading/checking for spoiling mishtakes before posting, but I'm originally from the grand county of Yorkshire, and if I REALLY put on my Tyke accent, I don't even think my Scottish wife would understand me  |
