WOW button counter

How come with number of views showing as at time of writing is 94 to this thread

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3726805

That the WOW counter is at 171 !?

Surely this is not working correctly as it must be allowing multiple WOW button presses from same IP address.

  • Hi aerostar,

    Good spot. But I would not worry for a couple of reasons. Firstly the way the WOW mathematics work it is certainly possible for a thread to have a WOW score of 171 after only 94 views. Secondly the thread has probably been viewed more than the advertised number of times. That particular statistic is only updated every 30 minutes for performance reasons, so will on average be 15 minutes out of date :).
