Inconsistent team member counts?

Topic 187954

So, I looked at the "Top Teams" listing, and my team (Einstein@Penn State) was stated as having 28 members. But on the team page itself, it states there are 27 members -- and it only explicitly lists 19 of them. I suppose the discrepancy between the "Top Teams" page and the team page itself could be a difference in when those two pages are updated, respectively, but it seems odd that the listing of members on the team page is different from the count on the team page. Is this a bug, or is it supposed to work that way?

Inconsistent team member counts?

Hmm, now the "Top Teams" page and the team page itself agree on 27 members ... but the team page still only lists 19 of them.

AFAIK they will appear together with their first granted credit ;-)

It's the same with my team: 179 members, 129 on the team stats.

From my experience your explanation is right on the ball. The portion of the database where the PHP script gets the number of members is different from that which provides the actual stats on each member. Since a member only appears in the stats after "credit" has officially been granted, people who have signed onto the team but have yet to be granted credit do show up in the member count but not in the stats list.

Actually the team page lists

Actually the team page lists only "active" members, i.e. members that have already contributed credit to the teams score. So they might not show up even if they had credit before joining the team until they are granted credit again.
