I think I found a bug in the host stats reported here. Right now I have one machine doing 100% CPDN. My stats for that are at [url=http://www.boincstats.com/stats/user_graph.php?pr=cp&id=12488' target='_blank]http://www.boincstats.com/stats/user_graph...?pr=cp&id=12488[/url]. However, I noticed it said I have 2 hosts. Upon further investigation, boincstats claims I have hosts 20353 and 20355. Only 20353 is correct. 20355 is not mine. I downloaded the hosts file from CPDN and think I see the problem. There is no 20354. 20353 has all my info. However, 20355 is anonymous. There is no user_id tag for that hosts. It looks like the user id from the most recent host is used instead by the software generating these pages. This is wrong. You may wish to make sure all fields are present and if not, have suitable defaults.

Thanks for all your hard work on producing these pages.

You are right. When there is no user id present, the update script uses the user id from the precious host. This is, as you suggested, not correct.

I changed the update script to prevent this.

Thanks for pointing this out.
