When I look at my network profile, I can see that my rep counts have already been recalculated after the question upvote value was increased. I now have about 350-450 extra rep on the five sites I most frequent (plus Skeptics, which is kind of an outlier for me).

But when I open the hamburger menu in the top-right, the "Your Communities" list still shows the old rep count for SciFi. Bizarrely, it shows the new rep counts for the other sites, and if I actually go on SciFi, it shows my new rep count in the top bar:

When I first started typing this question, "Your Communities" was showing the wrong value for Puzzling as well, but by the time I took the second screenshot it had fixed itself. I'm sure the value for SciFi will correct itself shortly as well, but what I want to know is, why was it wrong in the first place? Are the totals not updated in real-time? And if not, how come some were correct and others weren't?

It wasn't my browser cache, because I cleared that repeatedly and it was still happening.

    "It wasn't caching, btw, because I cleared my cache" ... The servers cache a lot of stuff as well and you can't clear their cache.

  • @Tom True. I'm not sure what gets cached on the server and what gets cached in your browser. Maybe that's the answer here.

Our rep recalculation has completed but our aggregator is still working through a big queue of items. The aggregator is what mirrors things to the network store and that's what the top bar is based on. I hope that answers your question. I answered a similar one here. Thanks for your patience!
