Whats up with the new graph?

in green is the real ELO graph. The blue one is the average.
I would put mean (or average) for the blue one.
And maybe get rid of the median on the green.
What exactly is it an average of? Because if I'm reading everyone else's graphs right, it would appear that everyone has a different average on the same day, meaning the averages are calculated
differently...

as if it's an overall ELO average, then it should be the same for everyone, and if it's like a ratio of your ELO in comparison to everyone else combined into an average I think that should be pointed
out (as this latter method is giving a separate number)
nevermind, i think i figured it out. It's just due to the overall scale of the ELO graph and is dependent on how many days someone visited/what days someone visited. For instance, if somebody played a
lot from Aug. 3rd-6th, they will have more days on their ELO graph to see the average from the 3rd-6th than another person who didn't play on those days - and the average shown will be different (but
really it was the same number, the graph just couldn't display it due to the scales being different).
the average is just a smoothed version of the standard ELO graph. It presents one player ELO evolution without all the up and down peaks.
The average at time T is calculated using T-10 to T+10 elos.

I realize how confusing it is. Maybe I should just remove it.
Nice feature - smoothed means.
I understood at first time that I see - maybe because I'm a Statistician.
