If there is one thing that bugs me more than people that lie to me, it is software that lies to me.
I am in the habit of visiting my User Search Page on a regular basis to track the posts I have made. The responses they have garnered. And to re-proof read, and (to try to) correct the inevitable spelling and grammar mistakes that litter my posts.
Frequently, if I been away from the tab for a while, I'll refresh the page to find that XP nodelet will say something to the effect of "You gained 5 experience point.s, but flicker comparing the refreshed page with the previous version shows that this number is wildly inaccurate.
Is it so difficult to track accurate numbers? If so, wouldn't it be better to simply say "You gain/lost some XP"?
And no. I don't give a flying .... about how much XP I've got--I just hate software that lies-- ... by 63.1234567689% (+-3%).
I'll give 1000 XP to the person that fixes this annoyance.
