MVPs gone again from Top Answerers generell list?

Question
-
I remember, this behavior was happening before (see this thread) and changed back.
So is this intended this time or a bug again?

It still seems to be the case.(I don't know if 17 days counts as a few weeks ... and I anyway came in to ask about this but first, luckily, checked the existing threads).The other thing is that the present order seems to beTop Posters (default)Current UsersMIcrosoft Top PostersMVP Top PostersCurrent Moderatorswhy do Microsoft moderators (who are paid!) come before MVP Top Posters (who aren't) ? :)also Current users isn't at all useful in my opinion and as all of these things slow down forums which I found amazingly slow when I was paying for the minute with a clock constantly ticking down (while on holiday), any one of these things that can be dumped ought to be. (I don't much see the point of "current moderators" either)

Since the V4 forums have an enhanced My Settings page where you can customize the display (get rid of the Tag Cloud for example) I think we should be able to turn this thing off completely. It' always been annoying, and even more so in V4 where you cannot manually select the category.

Yes, it's been back for at least a couple of weeks probably more.There's still the problem of the MVPs Total List and the general Total List having the occasional MVP in one but not the other list (i.e. an MVP that has in the past posted a lot of answers but doesn't any more). I don't think that has changed in the last couple of days.

Should have been fixed yesterday afternoon.

> Should have been fixed yesterday afternoon.It's possible.As has been mentioned earlier the new system of not being able to quickly go from one list (say Vistiors) to another list (say Top Answerers) is a nuisance.Most of the time I can't be bothered to wait until it slowly scrolls around to Top Answerers and Top MVP Answerers. So I won't have seen both lists for at least a couple of days.(The present default of a list of Actual Users is completely pointless in my opinion - who cares?)

There is a workitem to add the next/prev functionality back, it's just a matter of time/priority.
With the MVC release, almost everything is available partial html via a url. That's how the system composes the UI and performs user actions.
For instance you can get the all-up brand leader info via this url
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/user/leaderboards
and a specific forum, via this one (forumName would the same as the address bar for the forum you are interested in)
