Did anyone noticed that the leaderboards errors started at the 23 of september?

Some of you may noticed that there are some issues with the leaderboards. Can Teamtreehouse maybe check what happend on the 23rd of september as all current leaderboards top rankings joined treehouse on the 23rd of september?

So do I get my terminator badge now or what?!

.... just kidding

It also has something to do with the "Design" courses. Everyone one of the "glitched" badge numbers and points seem to all be a part of the design courses. Really wish they'd fix this soon. I don't pay much attention, but am worried that others may be discouraged seeing the overinflated and grossly wrong numbers in the leaderboards. I've sent a few email to support already... maybe if more people send emails??

It's not just Design. I haven't taken a complete inventory, but I know that top 10 in the CSS, HTML, Digital Literacy and Business all show more points on the leaderboard than they have on their profile. In many cases, the leaderboard score for the one category is many times their total points.

It's not just discouraging, it could potentially undermine confidence in the quality of the teachings. I've emailed support several times about it in the last 7 months. I can't imagine why this would be allowed to remain so broken for so long.
