Both of these members had over 1k points on FridayI have been talking with Insided (platform we use) support team this morning and they did indeed have leaderboard issues and we are not alone. “Very sorry for the trouble here….We've received reports about the leaderboard this morning, and we're looking into them….I've also enquired with our engineering team about the timezone inconsistency, as you have Eastern Time set up in your configuration, so the reset should occur for all users at the same time.” Good thing I centered the contest around the leaderboard...The three users I found who had their points reset prematurely were @kleinmat4103 @russell.harris and @MunkeyMan After painstakingly going through users activity to try and calculate a new standings I have a new list. It is not perfect as I don’t hav
