You've been so much help on the other problems I've had and I need your excellent help once again.

I have been trying to track this but I'm at a loss. In the Standings page, I have attendance listed for the last 30 days and for lifetime. For the most part, this listing is correct, except when I have a raid open for updating. During this time, there is an upward 8% adjustment.

This poses a serious problem for us, as bidding on items is dependent on whether the raider has a 65% attendance rate, as noted on that page. We have some who are borderline but, while the raid is on, if they reference that page, they can make the argument that they are, in fact, in the 65% standing when they are not.

It didn't do this before I switched to MultiDKP, so I have to think it's coming from something in that. Any idea what I can do to correct this?

you mean:
you open the standings page, and in another tab you open raid-management and edit a raid, when you then refresh the standings page all attendance goes 8% up?!

Yes, when anyone opens the standings page while we are raiding and I am adding items, etc. they see the additional 8% on some of the standings. To make things even more mysterious, this 8% is not applied to every member. It's not even based on what the total percentage was to begin with because we end up with some 108% and some at 79% when they should be 71%, etc.

Last night I was monitoring it more closely than usual and saw the percentages go back to normal toward the end of the night as well, even though I had that raid still open.

We raid again tonight and I'm going to keep a careful eye on exactly what happens. Let me know if there's something I should look for in particular.

does it only affect the participants of the raid you edit?

I want to verify tonight exactly which members are involved. I can't say for sure whether it was only those recorded as being in the current raid. The error was there before any dkp had been adjusted for items purchased, however.

items and raid-attendance dont have anything to do with eachother. it might just be a problem of the raid-itself, i suppose you add the raid at the beginning of your raiding, and then insert items, when they are bought by the players.
the attendance then during the raid, already includes the running raid. maybe it is a better idea, to create the raid with only one member, and insert all the members in the end. that might solve the problem.

Ah yes, I see what you mean. Ok, let me try that tonight and see if it solves the issue.

well, I was going to attempt to make a raid with just one, but we use another system to track the raid members and dkp so that wasn't possible. When the raid is made, this system dumps the attendees to it.

Interesting tho, that it was 7% this time, applied to members present, instead of the 8%. It did adjust again back to the correct percentages about halfway through the raid, without me doing or changing anything.

I'm really at a loss as to how to fix this.

it probably has to do with some inaccurance in dates, maybe some timezone problem or so, i dont know exactly, cant change this i think, it works in 0.7, so ... well

So prolly no way to fix it? Version 7 is still a long way off so I was hoping I could find it in a file somewhere. I terms of time zone, the raids are set up on the site in eastern time (EST) but I am Pacific time (PST), a three hour difference. Do you the think the error is somehow connected to the time difference? Perhaps if someone in the eastern time zone was doing the dkp, this wouldn't happen?
