I have 125+M score points showing but when I click on certificate to see and print certificate it shows only 120M.
Please correct this error
Thanks

There is nothing to fix. After the points get larger, the certs only show certain increments of total points. I don't know those increments or when they kick in, but it makes sense, 100, then 1000, then 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, etc. They have never shown a cert with a total like 125703972, it is always rounded down to a number with lots of zeros.

Thanks for the Holiday reply
I was only expecting a point certificate for 125,000,000 points.
I have received a WU certificate for 51,000 workunits.

The link for your cert came up at 120,000,000 for me as well.

It has been a while since I generated the certificates. I am not sure what the issue is.
Your 125729508 F@H Points are shown as 120,000,000 F@H Points (http://fah-web2.stanford.edu/awards/cac ... 729508.jpg)
Your 51494 WUs are shown as 51,000 WUs (http://fah-web2.stanford.edu/awards/cac ... .51494.jpg)

I am aware that the certificates are printed when each milestone is reached. Thus, 125,000,000 isn't a "valid" milestone so which is why your certificate is only showing 120,000,000 F@H Points. My guess is that the next milestone is 130,000,000 points. I based this on the fact that on your team, user jim.gluftsis and NoahJ have the same value in their certificates. Thus, if either of them crosses 230,000,000 points, their certificate will be updated.

I think its rounded down to the first two significant digits ...something with 10^(int(log(total points))-1) :eugeek:
