I've noticed that my stats for the past couple weeks on the top of my dashboard (home screen) are way off. For example, right now it says I have 6 views and 1 comment. Just for my photo today I have much more than that. I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference, but I'm wondering if it IS happening to anyone else - and also if it DOES make a difference. I know that Ross has said before that the weekly top 20 photos are based on the amount of views that a photo gets. I don't know - I'm just wondering if anyone else is having the issue?
Mine is always like that, because England is usually enough ahead in time that they are a day ahead. And England is where the site is created and maintained. So those are "tomorrow's" stats if you're in the U.S. I find it frustrating also. And somewhat pointless.
Nicole, my stats are like yours. I dont think Anita is right because I live in Denmark and our time is just 1 hours from England. But its nice to hear that Im not the only one with that problem.
I think it just takes some time to be updated - in that the stats won't change as immediately after a comment has been made or a photo has been favorited.
I'm in the US and my stats are never right either. But I don't mind really. I considered the ace membership more like a donation to Ross for having such a great site :-)
The stats on the dashboard are not real time, they are calculated every few hours. This may be why they seem a bit out.
Hope this explains a bit.
Cheers
