	Why is the following computer not showing up on the top hosts list? Sometimes it will be there, and sometimes it disappears mysteriously. Right now, it is missing... http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=4358664 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/top_hosts.php?sort_by=expavg_credit&offset=20 ____________

	I see it ranked number 29 right now. Yes, I see it now, too. But, it really wasn't there when I did post, I swear! :-) For some reason, my computer magically disappears from this list every so often. Anyone see this before? ____________

	The different pages are updated at different times. If a computer is at spot 30 when the 31 to 40 page is updated, it will not appear on the 31 to 40 page. If it is then at spot 31 when the 21 to 30 page is updated, it won't appear there either. So for a time it will have disappeared. Conversely, if it is at spot 31 when the 31 to 40 page is updated and it is at spot 30 when the 21 to 30 page is updated, then for a time it will appear on both pages for a while. So computers can be on 0, 1, or 2 pages all at the same time. Lower in the list where there is more movement between pages, I bet is is possible to be on even more pages... The best snapshots of position are taken by the third party stats sites such as BOINC Stats and BOINC Synergy among many others. ____________ BOINC WIKI

	I have noticed myself disappear a time or 2. Always wondered but thought that was what was happening. ____________ Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound!

	I have noticed myself disappear a time or 2. Always wondered but thought that was what was happening. Noticed it too, a while ago when I was looking at 1 off my host's, found it the next morning. Maybe 'UPDating' the database? Don't know how often that happens? ____________ Knight Who Says Ni N!, OUT numbered.................
