I just found out the reputation tab on the profile page has this graph feature. I looked at the small graph and saw a high peak in September. I tried to view it by clicking and dragging, but was confronted with a huge peak and no info on what caused it:

Now this suggested either a huge loss to neutralize the peak (very unlikely), or something wrong with the graph feature. The following picture seems to confirm the second option:

That is a net gain of +29 rep. However too big the peak in the graph may be, it still is justified. And there is no huge loss to neutralize it. So is there a bug in the graph feature?

Update

As comments pointed out, it seems I got two different Sep 24's mixed up. The rep tab picture shows Sep 24 2015, the peak is from 2014. Here is the peak in the rep by time tab:

enter image description here

Seems the commenter got the peak wrong: 76, not 79 :). Anyways, now the size of the peak in the graph is decidedly appropriate. And the "no net gain" sounds even more absurd.

  • $\begingroup$ What you've highlighted is the peak from September 24, 2014, where you gained 77 rep. On September 24, 2015, you gained that 29 rep. There's a much smaller peak there. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Whoops. Well, that strengthens my claim that there is something wrong with that graph thing, since it says "no net gain" :). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It's an off-by-one error, the graph crossed the date-line. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @DanielFischer you mean the problem is it is looking ad Sep 23 (or 25) instead of 24 because of bad alignment of the graph? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It seems so. Could be that it's something else, but for the moment I believe it's the same problem. $\endgroup$
