I think the login streak is a cool and fun feature and I know MANY people track it. Even those who say they don’t

But I’m not sure how this bug can still be here as I was pretty sure this was fixed once and for all after my extensive troubleshooting with Isochronic_Frost - I also believe this is no longer connected to your timezone but it’s been a while.

Anyways, I’ll take another look at it!

I had some time to spend on this issue today and have decided to rewrite the mechanism that calculates login streak.

The way it used to work is that each time you visit the site (as a logged in Pinsider), the system would check when was the last time you visited the site. If that was more than 24 hours, it would reset your streak to 1. If it was less than 24 hours, it would proceed to check if you already got a 1 point streak increase for today. If not, it would increase your streak by one. Theoretically this would work fine, but I assume different timezones were messing things up.

The rewrite of this code introduces a much, much simpler, once-a-day, system job that checks the "last seen" time for all Pinsiders and then increases the login streak by +1 for all who were "seen" in the past 24 hours. Everyone else will have their streak reset to 1.

Hopefully that will solve this once and for all!

I have stopped the old streak counter process and will start the new process tomorrow (24 hours from now).

The current streak will remain. I thought about starting over fresh but honestly, that would kinda suck.

And although I can't fix the past inconsistencies in the scores, which may have lead to some wrong numbers (that would be way too time consuming) - after quickly checking the top 25, the Pinsiders up there are pretty much valid give or take a few days where the system flunked due to timezone differences.

So all the numbers are on pause now and tomorrow at 13:00 (Amsterdam time) everyone who was seen in the past 24 hours (at that time) will get +1. Everyone else will be reset to 1.
