^ Valid point. Adjusted! 

Suggestion: replace the words "Dark Green" by the Trust score number. The dark green background color in the cell is obvious enough to omit the word, and replacing it by a number adds more information.

A few changes:

• If the search results in only 1 profile returned (whether using a userid or a search term), it will now automatically go directly to that profile.
  
• Registration date of profile has been added to the meta log. <- mainly to reference for accounts waking up, but there could be other uses.
• Trust color now appears on DT1/DT2 strength reports.
• Year '2020' has been added to most merited report, and corrected skipping rank numbers.

Correct, it is based on the old trust score algorithms, with the difference that there isn't really any orange.. < 0 goes red.

If we do move towards a new score, I'd still like to keep the old scores in some form, as I think it would be interesting to reference and could be useful.

edit:
(moved to post below for organization)

There is no specific frequency - more active profiles are updated more often, and certain events (receiving or sending merits for example) will trigger a quicker update. Or just press the refresh button as OmegaStarScream mentioned. "Last Parsed" shows when the user profile has been refreshed.

You can just use the "Refresh profile" button next time (I did it for you).

For the merits, I believe there is an issue (the text on the bottom seems to be more accurate than the table):

With what frequency is the database updated?
Why do I have 500+ posts, if in fact 200+
Why 17 merit if there are more than 30? Maybe I did not quite understand this?

This is still based on the old Trust scores, right? The system in which your Trust score increased by 1 point per month, until it reached the maximum of 10 points per user who left you positive feedback?
Negative feedback still has an exponential effect, that's why it goes up to minus 2 million.

It's probably much easier to forget about the old system and implement the new Trust scores, but I do like the nostalgia.

Trust scores/colors should be showing up again, as profiles are refreshed/parsed.
(big thanks to theymos for correcting a stray tag on the Bitcointalk profile page which helped with this)


Trust color is based on the "feedback trust" score:
<0 == Red
0-4 == Black
>4 == Green
>14 == Dark Green

At the moment, you're feedback trust score is being calculated as 3, which is why it is black.
disclaimer: I'm still double-checking this feedback trust calculation to make sure it's working as intended

Sure, it is NOT just a few merits that are wrong here and there. 

The totals of merits that are calculated on BPIP received and sent are way off for my BPIP profile.

For example, as I type this message, BPIP shows that I have currently received 1,250 merits (but the actual number is 1,313), and BPIP shows that I currently have sent 4,503 merits (but the actual number is 4,746), so I understand that team BPIP... is working on this particular matter, so such disparities are likely still existing for quite a few of the members, too...

I won't even try to give reasons for such disparities, since I will likely NOT describe what is going on with any kind of accuracy.. so why have more inaccurate information out there from peeps that don't know nuttin (referring to myself)?   

Overall, it does seem that in recent weeks that the BPIP site has been loading a lot of the fields better on my end (and frequently I am just getting ballpark information anyhow, or maybe looking to see if I had recently merited a particular user when deciding if I should merit again.. sometimes wanting to go further back than the forum's 120 day display of merits limits), and updating a lot more of the fields in a more timely way than it had been a few months ago... so I can see some of the progress on the user's end.

Today's Merit data is still crunching, but http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt is updated up to this morning's Merit data dump.
As far as I know, this file is still complete.

This file is updated too (up to this morning's data dump): http://loyce.club/Merit/userID_sent_received.txt

I think LoyceV can help you on that case, he already reflected them in his database.

^^^
I just checked list of merits sent from JayJuanGee.
There are some other duplicate transactions in that day too including merits sent to makrospex, Cryptotourist and NeuroticFish.

It helps a lot. The "Bitcoin Forum" merits I have already suspected to be an issue but the duplicate is something we'll need to look into.

What I did now was to double check my received merit to see why they are so off.

I have 1518 received according to bitcointalk extracting 10 airdropped, that makes total of 1508 merit received from other members.

According to BPIP, I have total of 1519 (one extra) in the MATR stats.

In the Merit information says - 1498 received.
What I did was to export my merit history in a sheet and sum it, just to be sure, and yeah the sum was 1498.
I noticed that those merit which were send by the forum (reward from theymos) were not yet included :

anyway adding to the 1498 + 11 = 1509 + 10(airdroped) = 1519. One extra... Interesting.

I use Loycev merit history database and compared the both lists. The end date is 10th of Jan. 2020.
In BPIP I had 751 transactions, in Loyce.club were 752, but LoyceV has added those two missing from the forum so final count were 750.

At the end I had one extra transaction and I trace it down to this >

I have a double merit transaction for this post which is wrong.

Sorry about the formatting ^, Not so much time lately..(wonder why ) I hope it helps. 

Awesome sauce.
I'd still blame TMAN, though.

A few other things that should be mentioned:

• Daily, weekly, and monthly merit awards should be fixed, there were several bugs and some older data which was missing or not accurate. I've re-calculated all merit awards going back as far as the DB allowed (~April of 2018).
• dt1changes.aspx should no longer be showing multiple entries all at once. (dt1changes.aspx is also being re-written to be more robust)
• Ranks should no longer skip numbers on the DT strength reports.
• DT1 strength report now shows a DT2 strength value.

Nothing's gonna stop us now.  

I think I know what's causing this mystery. It's called a "dirty read" and no, it's not TMAN's fault...

Edit: wrapped the rank/badge thing into a transaction so it should be good now.

Sometimes I see only 2, the merit and recognition badge, but it's not that often. BTW I've noticed this bug a month or two ago, it's been happening for quite some time now.
Thank you! well.., seems like I'm good in forking threads, why not just fork BPIP

Interesting. I'm seeing this too. It looks like your posts rank is actually changing to >1000 temporarily then going back to 952 which causes the badge to come and go.. but the post count stays the same.. I haven't seen trust disappear yet but will be taking a look.
(congratulations btw! .. And don't derail the thread or someone's alts will appear to report you! )

Maybe not a big deal but still a bug. Those badges keep showing up and dissapearing.
I should have taken a screen shot, but after a refresh (not manualy parsing the account only F5) they change. Normaly I have 4 badges.

Today when I visit my profile I had 3 badges (most recongized), (most merit) and (most trust), after a F5, (most trust) disspeard and I had 2. After another F5 (most trust) came back toghether with (most posts) and I had 4.
