What 's up with the User Stats ?

The User Stats, in the past, showed me a breakdown of Folded Projects, with an amount per Project number.
To find out more about a problem I found in my GPU log, I tried to check my numbers by looking up my personal Stats, but the only thing I can find now are general numbers (meaning totals for my Folding User ...

I 'd like to know why this has changed or is there something broken in this part of the Stats ?

This feature has been disabled to speed up the stats updates on the old overworked server ... I don't know if they plan to restore it since they moved to the new stats server.

OK, thanks !

I 'll ask VP about re-instating this (if possible) and when it can/will be done

I'll consider it. The general consensus is that people didn't use this and would rather have fast updating stats (which we have now) than considerably slower ones w/this info.

I found the "by project" listing very interesting and occasionally useful. Perhaps it could be run once a day in the background, decoupled from the main stats updates.

I've used those listings each time (although I look my stats weekly).

I "loved" this feature and was very sad when it got turned off.

Please keep in mind that decoupling the stats really isn't viable at this time, without completely overhauling the stats system. That's not something I want to do, since bugs in the stats system is a disaster for the project, but yet unavoidable with any sort of complete rewrite.

Adding it in now would also not be retrospective, nor would it be fast (we would likely have to go back to doing stats every 2-3 hours, and stats updates would take quite a while, maybe 30-45 min).
