Hey, good call delgr! I was curious, and the same thing is happening to me. The timestamp for the most recent game on the 1st is 17:02:32. I wonder if anyone can remember the site crashing or doing anything strange at around that time? I'm wondering if it's possible for just the database portion of the code (or the database itself) to be "down"? ie, recent games have not been recorded because updates to the database are failing due to the database being down? Could this have anything to do with the recent outage? Because I can't remember ever seeing this happen before...

I have noticed that the # of games and the ratings change so....perplexed here as to what is going on! Wonder if it was related to the turn based fix or if it is a separate process that isn't running! Lets just hope the games are stored in a text file or something!

Don't worry, nothing is lost. The game database lookup uses a copy of the main database (see my posts on game database improvements many months ago). In this case after that last crash the copy is slightly out of sync or something, this is the 2nd time I had to tweak it. I will just do a full refresh of it tomorrow and that should do it.
