While I was working on that task late last night, Moondance Warrigal contacted me to let me know that Yakuza Clan was not showing up on on the statistics page. I looked, and sure enough, they were nowhere to be found.
Since Archanox implemented the new Clan Board, I’ve been kind of lazy about refreshing the data that drives the statistics, so I figured that a quick refresh would do the trick. I fired up my rusty trusty bot Aang (who now also serves as a research bot) to pull the list of which fighters belong to which clans, and after a bit of a gaffe discovering that Yakuza Clan’s clan key was incorrect, synchronized the data.
Everything appeared to be going well, for a few hours, at least. Then, at some point, Yakuza Clan stopped appearing in the list again.
I have no idea why. None whatsoever. I’m looking at the process from end to end, and the reason is just not obvious. So, before I move the page over to it’s final destination, I feel like I need to figure out why this is occurring.
I think all of the other clan information is correct, but of course I cannot be sure, so if you notice anything odd about your clan’s statistics, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Feel free to send me an IM in-world, even if I’m not signed in I have my preferences set to send all instant messages to my email.

I think I’ve got this fixed now. Of course, I’ve thought so before and been wrong, but it does appear to be working.
Like I said before, if anyone notices that something’s amiss, feel free to let me know.
Okay, wtf….. On my machine, if I view statistics in Firefox, I am currently seeing Yakuza Samurai listed at 6404 duels this week. On Internet Explorer, however, I see 6413 duels. And Moondance apparently doesn’t see Yakuza at all
Platform problem!
A very strange platform problem, considering the scores page doesn’t use javascript or any other client-side code.

Oops, I meant to add that it is more likely a problem with loading (or not loading) a cached version of the page.

Actually, it did in fact turn out to be a cache problem, but a very unusual one.
Basically, the other day when I was getting all the redirected traffic from the Second Life blog, I installed wp-supercache so that I wouldn’t piss off my hosting company. That caching was nice in some ways, but obviously a pain in the ass in other ways, and the documentation was very poor.
Seems to be fixed now, though.
