Scoreboard bug?

I'm very curious as to why I'm listed twice on the scoreboard (For example here). I'd rather be listed once rather than twice.

I think I've seen you listed twice elsewhere too. One has an html link and one does not. Is one from before your web account? maybe something different happened during your syncing?

There can only be one registered account with the name minimac (the name that is a hyperlink to the player profile). However, anyone can create a unregistered profile in Clones with any name they want and stats will be submitted with that name (the name shows up without a hyperlink). So in this case, either someone else is using minimac (without your password of course) or that particular stat was created using another profile you created (on a different computer perhaps). This is why it's important to always make sure your username and password are entered properly so that your stats are properly associated with your account!

I don't think anyone else must have used minimac, and I wasn't using a different computer. I think what happened was I must have changed a look of my avatar a few days ago. :tight: Still, it's very strange to see this bug occurring on several levels.

I checked the score board for "Dual Core" and did some investigation. So the two minimac scores were posted from the same IP (probably the same computer), but with different profile ID's. This means that somewhere along the line, a new profile was created with the name set to minimac, but the password not set. I would double check that your password is properly set. Goto the options menu and re-enter your password. One way to check if your username and password is entered correctly is by going to the avatar editor and publishing a custom avatar to your online profile. Then check to make sure your online profile has been updated.
