Am I missing something, or is this just not correct? If you check under Statistics/Finished Games, at the bottom, your personal count is listed. However, this seems to show a far too small number for me (2260) - with only Backgammon, Nackgammon, and Fevga added up, I have already more than the shown number. Is there a filter applied ('last year'?) or something??
Carpe Diem: i spent several hours yesterday, downloaded all my data, and tried around how the wrong numbers could be made up, but found no way. It must be accessing the wrong fields or something, because there is no way to add up any combination of my completed games to get to this total. And after seeing your 0 0 0 0 - it seems it is looking at something completely different. Maybe some other player's data - the one with the id next to you?

Aganju: I thought it just stopped working years ago. But since Carpe has zeros across the board and first logged in sometime in 2009, that would mean it hasn’t worked since then. My totals are just over 7800 completed games under statistics. But I can see by my profile that I’m closing in on 21,000 completed games.
Although, I would venture a guess that I completed 7800 games around 2011 not 2009. But it’s possible.
Aganju: That's a plausible theory. And there's no reason the offset has to be one - IE it could be players with an ID 10, 100, 2567 more or less than our own. :) Something only Fencer would be able to determine. Clandestine could also be on to something, but it would indeed have to be a long-standing bug.
Carpe Diem: since I logged in first in 2011, after Carpe, and have numbers over 2000 it can't be that it counts only old games. also, the numbers change over time, so something is calculated - just no the right thing. I guess a quick look at the code would easily find the issue, but we don't have the code...
