The status on this has definitely changed. Bob says I have over 500 points in the last 12 hours never mind the last 24 which is clearly ridiculous. However it's no longer making a dent in the Q&A 24 hour top list, so perhaps now that list at least is counting correctly? OK Scratch that it's not a fix in progress but another bug I just bounced back up the board in one go from nowhere. It now lists 565 which is about what I estimate from the points table for the last 12 hours so it could just be an artifact of the algorithm. Best forget it until the main issue is fixed.
