20,367 PointsCurious about how the leaderboards work
I just discovered the Leaderboards and decided to see where I stand. As a member of 2 years and at this time, 8242 points, how is it that I am ranked in the mid thousands and people with less than half of the points I have are ranked in the top 10?
Just wondering how that is factored. I expected to see people with like 50k points in the top slots!

I believe this is a known issue that TH is working to resolve.
Happy coding,

20,367 PointsAh, ok. Thanks, Ken. I saw another guy today that has well over 20k points and he started a month after I did (Judging by the date of his Newbie badge). There are some very impressive learners out there!

Treehouse TeacherYeah, the last time I looked at the leader board there were multiple people ahead of me with fewer total points. I'm not that concerned about it, but it would be a nice feature to get resolved.
Happy coding,

20,367 PointsAAAANNnnnd I just noticed your score. lol WOW!
Yeah, I'm not too concerned with it either, I was just curious if there was some other measuring method at play here.
Happy learning to you, sir!

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsI have brought this to the attention of Treehouse as well. I personally don't pay that much attention to them, but I agree that it would be VERY nice to have resolved.
I also wish that Treehouse would put up a notice about the glitch/issue with the leaderboards, as I am worried that there are some that may get discouraged at their "wrong" position/rating. For a newcomer, it may be discouraging to see someone has amassed 100+ badges and/or 10000+ points when they have only accomplished and MUCH MORE realistic number of badges and points.
Hopefully this gets rectified soon. You all keep on Coding! :)
