We traced this to an issue with resource contention on our database server. I created a thread explaining it in the support forum and I will update the progress there.

which expected payout we should follow, the one at the chart, or the one shown beside the forum icon?

The top of the page is the payout averaged over the past 24 hours. The chart is the instantaneous payout at the time listed. I'm sorry about the confusion; just realized that this is not described well in the help so I will explain it better in the next release.

Right now I am double-checking the payout reported at the top of the page to ensure it is correct. I do not want to mislead customers.

One more question, why payout threshold varies from time to time? so once ur aged amount have achieved the threshold, it will automatically sent to ur wallet?

The payout threshold is held at $2.50 USD equivalent for all coins, so as the coins' prices relative to USD vary, so does the payout threshold. I know the help file says it's $5.00 minimum, but we decided to lower it to $2.50 since we were not spending as much on transaction fees as we originally anticipated.
Coins mature in the morning and payouts are executed the next morning, so the money you earned on October 9 will show up in the aged column this morning of October 10 and will be paid in the morning of October 11 (assuming the aged balance meets the threshold at that time). This 24 hours is necessary to allow time for the coins to mature, deposit to the exchanges, trade at the exchanges, and withdrawal to the pool's hot wallets before being transferred to your own wallet.
One thing to remember is that since we are a pay-per-share pool, your earnings are locked as soon as you submit a share, so the amount you see in your account at any time is exactly what you will eventually be paid. Unlike PPLNS pools, your balances won't change due to fluctuating exchange rates.
