something odd happened today.

 

not gonna go into details how this came about

 

me and another player saw a different skill level for the same player on bbo.

i and a few others saw the level listed as "advanced" the other person and someone else saw the level as "intermediate"

 

hmmmm...

 

(lemme know who to send particular usernames/logins/possible screencaps to...)

This happens to be someone I play with on occasion.

 

Matt was playing with him, he made comment that the guys skill level said advanced, i say it shows intermediate

 

so we asked kibbers, and got varying responses, some said Advanced, some said intermediate.

 

Both matt and I have screen shots showing different skill level.

From what I recall, BBO transmits that information when you login, of all those currently logged in. If the person changed the info at some point, that might explain. Those who logged in AFTER he changed it see the new value, those who logged in before don't.

Well, I would agree with you except I logged out and back in after this scenario occured, and it still said intermediate for me, and matt logged out and back in, and it still said advanced for him, and we asked the guy what the setting really was and it was advanced.

 

It apparently has something to do with Temporary Internet Files and caching, but we just thought it was odd as several of the kibitzers also had intermediate, and several others had advanced as well.
