The achievements dropdown box dropped the ball on some votes I received today.

My reputation tab on Stack Overflow shows I gained +169 points so far today:

+169 on Stack Overflow

The achievements dropdown, on the other hand, claims I only gained +134:

+134 on SO?

It appears the votes for Determine if __getattr__ is method or attribute call were entirely missed out; accounting for the 35 point discrepancy. They should be listed where I placed a question mark.

Note that the later votes received did not update the achievements tally; the votes were missing before the more recent votes came in already.

Update: another vote for the same post showed up as a green +10 label, but opening the dropdown showed no such vote. I strongly suspect that a specific aspect of that post causes an error somewhere.

Perhaps the double-underscore is interpreted as Markdown and breaks something? Other posts with double-underscores in the title did work (yesterday there was one with __main__.py in the title), so this is a long shot.

  • @ShaWizDowArd: Another vote on the post just got lost, so I think we are on to something here.

  • @ShaWizDowArd: That said, I got votes on a post with __main__.py in the title, they showed up just fine.

  • Well, it surely ruins markdown so...

  • Did you refresh the page, or are you continually opening the achievements dropdown on the same page?

  • @NickCraver: I refreshed the page, and forced a cache clear as well. I am quite aware of the problems faced by keeping a page open. :-P

  • I noticed it too, but it used to account for that after a refresh or 2. I did post a comment on the original top-bar beta question posted on meta regarding this. Try giving it a few mins and a couple of refreshes, may be.

  • @R.J: It's the fact that a later vote showed up as +10, then the drop-down showed no trace of the newer vote on that question, that has me thinking this won't resolve in a few refreshes.

  • @NickCraver: I note that the XHR response shows no mention of the specific post, or its score.

  • @MartijnPieters - Actually, it happened with me too, that a later upvote/accept was reflected but a previous reputation increase wasn't. Though it seemed to have self-fixed in a few minutes, we could have a actual bug here, since it hasn't self-fixed for you yet. The double underscores might be the problem.

    Uh, I think you broke SQL. Hang on, something is definitely off here.

  • Ok I see the issue, you deleted and undeleted your post, the rep history is working fine, it's the post aggregation that's not working

  • Ah yes, I forgot I did that! My initial read of the question was wrong.

  • Dang, I always check revisions but since there was no direct link I was too lazy to type if manually.

Update: this has now been fixed, the bug was specifically on deleted and undeleted posts. The aggregation is fixed as is historical data.

Fun fact: post undeletions weren't getting aggregated to the network level (where we check against to see if we should display that item in the dropdown). Funner fact: they never aggregated.

Soooooo, I need to fix this and backfill post deletion dates - hang on this will take a while. T-SQL backfills across linked servers? weeeeeeeeeeee.

  • @ShaWizDowArd one other, fixing the JS to clear dropdowns on realtime updates and such now
