Error in Best Nodes of the Week

[Athanasius]

I’m looking at the Best Nodes page. Sections for Best Nodes of the Day, Month, and Year have 10, 10, and 20 entries, respectively, as expected. But Best Nodes of the Week shows only 6 entries, numbered 5 to 10. Looks like something has gone wrong somewhere.

Thanks for looking,

Something comparable happened a long time ago, as I reported in Selected best nodes not doing what it claims. The elves who fixed it that time may find the reminder helpful, which is why I am posting this.

G'day Athanasius,

I can confirm what you're seeing: Day 1-10; Week 5-10; Month 1-10; Year 1-20.

I tried both of these URLs (logged in): https://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Best Nodes and https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=9066.

I then tried changing the .org to .net and .com on both of those URLs: I was no longer logged in to any of those four URLs but the results were the same (i.e. Week 5-10).

I've no idea why this is happening nor how to fix.

Huh! I thought for a moment that you meant Sundials had got on there!

was able to confirm, seems to be working again

Could be a side effect of recent patches to exclude negative best nodes.

IIRC best nodes must be better than NORM now.

So maybe that interfered somehow.

IIRC best nodes must be better than NORM now.

It has been thus for years.

Time flies...
