Bug Achievements Randomly Getting Awarded To People (Mostly based on time spent on forum)

[s3ponline]

The time based achievements are randomly given out, then taken away, or sometimes they stay.

My forum isn’t a year old yet, but I’ve received the year old achievement. Members who have signed up have received all of them. Sometimes they go away, sometimes they stay.

I have also noticed this on the yearly achievement, my forum is 2.5yrs old and I have only received the 1yr achievement where some members have received the 2yr!

Please check the Join Date of the users incorrectly receiving the Achievement, via the User Manager.

Looking at the code, I'm unsure how it's possible to be a logic flaw... However, if the Join Date appears to be correct, then if one of you can PM me with an FTP account that can access the forum files and AdminCP information with at least Can Admin vBActivity and Can Admin Users, I should be able to get to the bottom of this
I'll also need at least one UserID that has this problem.

Brand spanking new member got ALL of them. It comes and goes. I rarely see it stay. My forum is like 4-5 months old and I often times get the 1 year out of nowhere.

After running a recalculate I see nobody with that Achievement.

I have no idea how to progress from here, this specific issue doesn't appear to affect anybody else, and I can't track down where they got the achievement added...

Do you gather points for time spent on the forum? I just did a recalculate from the beginning of the forum. My activity points went from 27k to 15k. It might also be because I keep having this random issue with the Time Based mods appearing over and over again (just to go away again)

Yes, but that wouldn't amount to such huge amounts since by default it's 0.1 points per day.

Right, but if it keeps jumping me over and over again back and forth between being a year and not being a year, then maybe it keeps re-accumulating the points?

I’ll start keeping tabs on one of the spare accounts with no activity to see if I’m having huge jumps.

 

[Fillip H.]

No it wouldn't re-accumulate points, those 0.1 points are awarded once a day.

Unless there's a clear pattern that can be reproduced "on command" for lack of a better term, this cannot be fixed.

I just wanted to state that this issue is still happening even though we’re on official releases of mysql, php, etc.

And so I know i’m not crazy, members of A different forum using this mod are having the same issues.

just fyi

I've still not been able to replicate it though, and without replication it's difficult to solve it
