for www.codeproject.com I got served by Web20, Web21, and Web23
(tried both URL about 10 times).
Not sure what I'm supposed to see/test/prove though.

It means you can see those domains, so it means you are probably not having problems with some content missing. I've split some of the content between www and s in order to allow browsers to open more connections than normal, meaning more downloads in parallel, meaning a faster response.

OK.
After power-cycling my PC and modem, and reconnecting to ADSL, everything looked normal again.
Nothing major, getting access to all sites but one was a first, I didn't quite understand what could have gone wrong.
Cheers.
PS: I'll switch off the lights now...

Without digging into the data, my first guess would be that a lot of the edits or votes may have been on items that have since been deleted.
[Edit] Do you tend to click "accept answer" a fair bit?
[Edit] Looks like it was some reporting data that went missing (Bad articles, Q & A's, and messages). Will re-add them.

Organizer rep is either voting up (it seems unlikely those items got massively removed), or reporting articles/messages. Are you saying that, once the targets get removed, those report points get disposed of on the next recalculation? If so, it seems logical not to reward the reporting at all...

It doesn't seem right to me that you *lose* Organizer points when the things you've been "organizing" have been deleted.

Part of the issue is that we're trying to back-date events on a system not designed to fully store all the information we might have needed. I did find one place where deleted items, in rare circumstances, may have failed to provide rep points on a recalc. The main issue I found, though, was in one place we may not be picking up reports on bad articles. An easy fix for this.

I assume the recalc from yesterday is now done, but as a result, I lost something like 1000 (or more) organizer points. I was silver before (approaching gold), now I'm bronze.

I'm getting the following error whenever I try to open any member's profile page:
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.. Ticket: 2410475. Server: Web23
Edit: I'm guessing it has something to do with the post below..
Edit #2: Fixed by Chris.

I was composing this message while you posted yours, so I didn't see it before I posted mine. My bad.

To fix a minor issue from a few weeks ago, and add points for voting in surveys, we're rerunning the reputation calculator to repopulate member reps.
For the next few hours reputation will be a little all over the place.

Is that why i get;

I think you guys need to refactor your reputation point calculation code so you can pick/choose which category (or categories) get recalculated. That way, if you discover a problem in a single category, like "Participant", you can kick off a recalc of just that category. It would be faster,and less disturbing to users.

We can, but it's not guaranteed to always work.
The points you get in one category can depend on the member level of the voter in a different category (though they don't at the moment). We have to go right back to the beginning and recalculate everyone, then step through, day by day, so that the votes at that point in time are given the correct weighting for the given category on the day the vote was made.
Frankly, reworking the recalc scripts is something I really don't want to do because they are complex enough as it is.
It's been months since we've done this, it's a lazy Sunday morning, and I reckon the world won't stop turning if rep points are weird for 5 more hours.

How about duplicating each of the rep fields into a real one and a temporary one (normally zero). Then:
- always show/use the largest of the two;
- a recalculation could be: copy real to temp; clear real; recalculate; clear temp again.
Advantages:
- nobody would notice until done and the difference is significant.
- privileges such as edit and delete, would not be temporarily lifted (for about 6 hours).

The calculation seems finished, there are some surprises:
- I lost 700 Organizer points (that is 40%), and I'm not the only one (there were 40 platinum/golds, now 28);
- my Debator rep has risen by more than 1500;
- overall some 1200 points gained.
I feel very disorganized now.

Not sure disorganization should be called convenient. I'm at a loss, I feel scattered. What did I do wrong? Is this the beginning of the end? Is it 2012 yet?
