What steps will reproduce the problem? Go to http://lesswrong.com/user/Vika/overview/ What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to see a karma score of 50 for the last 30 days, instead it's 464. What version of which web browser are you using? On what operating system? This shows up on Chrome and Firefox, on my windows 7 computer and on my android phone. Please provide any additional information below. This bug started after I reposted my latest post from Discussion to Main. The overall karma score of 138 is still correct.

Sorry, I was confused about how karma works for posts in Main. The 30-day karma is correct, it's the total karma that's wrong.

Can you elaborate why this is not fixable? The 30-day karma and total karma are clearly inconsistent.

Sorry I totally missed the, "it's the total karma that's wrong", part.

Votes on posts in the main section are scored differently to those in discussion. They receive ±10 points per vote, does that explain the difference?

The post in question was moved from Discussion to Main. The upvotes the post received after it was moved got 10 points each. Were the upvotes received before that also supposed to get 10 points each? Thanks!

Once the post is moved the code that calculates karma has no way of knowing that it was once on the discussion section. So all votes will be considered to have been made on the current section the post is in, thus each one will count as ±10 points.

When I moved the post to Main, the 30-day karma score adjusted to multiply the old upvotes by 10, but the total karma score did not. I think there must be a bug there.

Currently I have two posts in Main, one with 74 points and one with 34 points, so the total karma should be >1000.
