Well, that's progress, at any rate. I received an alert email myself, and was able to click the link. Please share your browser version and OS...

Hey TriKlops, sorry for the long delay, but I took a crack at fixing this. 
63
Yes, that could be, but I don't think so, as I have a moderator tool for testing emails, and they seem to work when sent from there. I'll continue to investigate this weeken...

I spent the last hour or so debugging, but unfortunately I was not able to reproduce this problem in my local environment (though I was able to confirm on the production site), and I don't see any recent changes that would explain it, so I'm going to need to confer with our dev ops expert and get back to you. Thanks for being patient...

Ah, sorry, I'll take a quick look. I'm actually investigating a different problem with forum notifications right now, and it's possible I broke something. Thanks for reporting.

Hey folks, sorry for not doing an update in a while, but I wanted to let you know that we recently did some back end maintenance, and as always it led to a number of glitches and breakages (particularly in the forum software). I'm fixing them as they pop up, but please don't be shy about reporting any problems you notice.

Spoken like a true Sarcasticon!

I don't know if a tab could be added before the figure name.  So that in Excel, if a sort filter is applied, the subline header, and figure name are not in the same column.  It may not be a good idea. 
I wondered about that myself. If you folks can figure out a sensible layout it's easy enough to prototype. Can you maybe come up with a mockup?

I have a little update on this for you. I still haven't figured out how that item's appraisal data went stale, but while poking around I noticed a bug in the value computation code, which I've fixed. The next thing I did was flag all product records as "dirty", and set up an hourly task to refresh their appraisal data 1000 items at time. As of a few hours ago, all records have been recomputed. Finally, I've added an admin button for comparing cached appraisal data with data computed on the spot, which should let us know if there is a still a problem. I'll wait a few weeks, then press it and see what happens, but for now I'm going to close the issue in our tracker, and get back to the business of playing video games. Thanks again for reporting, and let me know if you see any similar weirdness again.

The date fix is now live. Let me know if things work any better for you.

Hey, Tusko old buddy!
I looked into it, and while there is indeed a data point for loose items in the system for that toy at $9100, it should be caught and discarded (well, ignored, anyway) via statistical analysis. I see that someone has already recomputed the values, and the chart has returned to some semblance of normalcy, but I'm still not sure how it got in that state. I'll investigate a bit and let you know what I find out.

Wow, you're running Safari 15 on a MacBook from 2017?  Way to hang in there. That configuration isn't even available in my testing environment, but I was able to reproduce the NaN-ny goodness on a stock 2017 MacBook. We'll evaluate the fix for a day or two before releasing into the wild. We'll let ya know...

Thanks much, I'll take a look.

Hey guys, I just wanted to follow up on these two bugs, here.

As far as I can tell, the completion bug is completely fixed, and I can find no trace of it in the system.

As for the date issue, I have been unable to repro it with Big Sur/Safari 14.1, nor on latest iPhone. If you can still reproduce it in your environment, please supply:

1. make/model of device
2. browser version
3. a link to a page that shows the bug

In the meantime, I've closed the issue in our tracker, but I will open it again if somebody chimes in with the above info. Sorry for the long delay, and thanks for all the help.

Ah, nice. So if we're basing on user data - it could be a mix of different currencies then, correct? (IE if I pay £20 for something and you pay $30 - it'll take an average of 25 indeterminate currency, even though £20 is closer to $28, so an actual average ought to be $29)
We normalize the data points to USD when computing value using conversion rate data polled from somewhere-or-other (Yahoo finance, I think).

At any rate, we've fixed the missing currency code issue (it was actually already in the code, but there was a bug preventing it from working correctly). Thanks for the report.
