Thanks, Jenn, you're right on top of things! I know I didn't imagine it! I had to edit one post and happened to notice the number, then several later it was the same. It's a mystery to me!
I like to post comments on card galleries that have cards without comments. I decided to do 50 - 100 per day. The one's I comment on seem to appreciate it so much and frequently send me emails telling me how I made there day. Today my husband was waiting to use the commputer and I kept saying, Just a minute I'm almost done....then I noticed I had the same number for the last hour? How come it did not change???? I have checked and re-checked and it just stayed the same?????
I think it's a gallery thing. Mary was asking me about this last night. She was noticing that her number in the gallery was not changing, but the ones on the boards were.
It may be partly that the gallery is a different software then the forums and could be a similar problem as when you upload a new avatar....something with temporary files....or something.....JMO
The same thing is happening to me in the gallery right now....stuck on 2981. I have posted comments to at least 10 cards since I noticed it was changing.

we've begun using more "caching" in the gallery, so that may be what you're seeing. the idea of caching is that instead of re-generating information each time it's needed, it's generated once and then stored for future use.
think of the gallery home page as an example. if it's viewed 50 times per minute by visitors to the site, a lot of resources can be saved by generating the page a single time and then presenting the saved copy. the page can also be presented faster because it's not having to be re-generated each time it's displayed.
it's more complicated than that, but I'm guessing the same principle applies to post counts not being updated in real time. post counts are being "figured out" at one point and then stored and re-used until a later time when they're eventually updated. make sense?
Number of posts not changing
