Numbers don't add up .... Explanation?

June 3rd, 2011
My upload for today has 5 comments atm [thanks for your input, it's always appreciated : ))) ] but at the same time the "Viewed" states just "4". How is this possible? This is a little confusing for me, but perhaps there is a simple explanation. Monkeys?

I did "refresh", thinking maybe I timed loading instantly after someone posted. The figures still remain the same. Oh, today is "Day 48", photo "Rocky Dawn".

Cheers,
Bobbie

People who follow you can comment on the photo directly from their home page, without clicking on it. That means 4 people clicked on the photo to type their comment, and one person didn't. Hth

Okay, now I understand. thanks for that info Tricia. It is quite simple isn't it! : ))

The other thing that's happened is that picture has loaded twice into my home page - which might be doing odd things to the number. I am not sure why it does that, but it's happened a few times that I've seen, to my photos too.

Hmm, @shanne interesting ..... I wonder if there's some glitch ? Sorry to those who have got the double-act!

The opposite is true too. If you share the picture on an outside source, like facebook, any clicks in facebook getting to 365 will tally up your view count.

If I don't click I never comment, but people do that a lot, it saves time so they can comment on more photos, but how can you comment when you just see A thumbnail? I mean, I could do that, but I like to see the full photo. Sometimes I like one photo, I am om my cell, I favorite, and when I have time I go and comment when I am on my computer.

@alecio Agreed, why would you comment from a thumbnail...

I'm with @alecio here. What's the point of commenting on thumbnail? I would never do that. Well, perhaps some have very good eyesight they don't need to see the big pic!!
