      Randy, what are you referring to?  I haven't seen anything odd except for a daily view a week ago of over 4 million.  That's been fixed.

      Happy Friday!
      After checking with the team, I found that something else running in the background was preventing stats from updating regularly. We have stopped running that process, so stats should be updating fine right now. Sorry for any inconvenience (though then again, it did give you the opportunity to be angry at us! ).
      Look on the bright side, y'all!

         If it had not been happening at regular intervals I would have no reason to be perturbed at the stats problem, Simone.  Are you saying that the tech guys hadn't even noticed the stats weren't working for over 6 hours?  Gee, no wonder this stuff goes on for days at a time on occasion.  I'd rather things run smoothly and not be bothered to point things out.  Que sera!

            I suppose what I should clarify is that people can expect their stats to be updated several times throughout the day. This often happens hourly but will not always be the case.
            
            If there is somewhere in our wording on the site that says stats will always be updated hourly, please let me know. I should change that!

               Simone,  I think the original problem of the stats being frozen has morphed into another problem, which is that now the stats page is saying an update has occurred recently, but the actual stats are not updating.  The former situation was better.  At least we knew from the last update time that the stats were indeed frozen without having to look into it any further.

                     ???  Isn't that what a number of people have been saying throughout this thread?  Perhaps it's the time delay issue between the time that it says the stats were updated and the time when they are actually updated, but there was a point today where I could have sworn that the stats said updated within the last 30 minutes but nothing was actually updating for a couple of hours.  I don't usually fret over the hub stats because I know they will eventually be updated.  I am more wondering what long term solutions are being proposed and/or implemented to fix this ongoing problem?  I know how it is, many companies short-change their IT Dept. and don't give them enough resources to address problems properly, but shouldn't that be a top priority at a company that does its business via the Internet?

                        My stats also say updated at different times but I know that they are not actually updating because, for example, I know that I'll go into a page but those views don't change and aren't recorded, even when the stats say "Updated" they don't seem to be reflecting actual number changes with the update.

                     Thanks... yeah... I totally agree with you, but then maybe it's just a life perspective thing. Some us are ok to wait on results and others feel they can bring about a resolution faster if they squeak their wheels, so to speak. I don't know... it just seems life to short to make a big deal out of seemingly small things. Either way, I'm sure HP emp.'s are working just as hard as the rest of us. After all it's a business and not many employers are quick to let ppl slack at their jobs. I highly doubt HP's is any different.

I can't see any reason why it would be such a big issue otherwise.

    Quite honestly, and I know this is really silly, but when I see so many issues going on like the stats freezing I start to worry that perhaps other systems in HubPages are not working properly either and we wouldn't ever know about it. For instance, how would we ever know that the ad sharing revenue system is working properly and not stuck with only HubPages ads instead of our own for extended periods of time?
    
    I was also having a great month for Amazon selling many products daily and then a couple of days ago my Amazon earnings from HubPages flatlined and I haven't sold a thing since. I can't help but worry that there is another issue going on behind the scenes. The frozen stats make me paranoid about the reliability of other systems which I know is silly, but I can't help but wonder because we have no visibility into some of the more important revenue based systems.

       Of course we should be concerned with the continued problem of these "glitches."  And you are correct to wonder what else is going wrong with other facets of HubPages.  The silence is deafening.

    The stats aren't fully updated yet despite the time change, I opened an old hub of mine last night and had a good look at it, about 14 hours ago to see if that single view turns up the next day on the stats page but its still showing as zero.
    
    Google analytics is busy with activity, 15 different hubs being perused at the past 30 minutes, wahoo! I hope I get to see the final results on the stats page some time today. Exciting innit?

    My stats seem to be working. I watched it drop below a round number, and was saddened. And now I just saw it go back above that round number, so now I am gladdened.

       gladdened. I don't think I realized that was a legitimate word.

       I'd say it's down about 25% for me which is disappointing but not a total disaster. At least, it won't be if it stays at only 25%.

       Mine seems to be declining rapidly as well.  There are other people on other threads saying the same thing so I think there is something going on with many people's pages.

    Yes, I looked at my GA and it seems that my traffic from yesterday should have been comparable with my traffic from Wednesday but it was not.  It was significantly lower as were my earnings.  I don't know.  I still think the stats are glitchy.

    At least HP has changed the update message to more clearly describe the situation as: " x amount of hours or earlier."  Can it be any more vague?

          Not really.  Obviously 5 hours is long enough to wait for an answer.  The Great Oz will be with you shortly.

             If Google isn't reporting traffic that you believe to be there the best place to ask why is probably Google.

    The stats table is still a little wonky, hubs I know had hits yesterday night are still showing as zero this morning.
    And this is where it gets weird, a hub that has had 6 views in 7 days is showing 0 views for 30 days, how is this possible?
    I see another old hub with 2 views in 7 days and again 0 views in 30 days.
    I've cleared my temp folder and tried again, same results.
    
    On the plus side my views are slightly up.

    I'm showing decreased views for one day, and that number has stayed the same - has not changed in many hours. Then I have increased views for the week and month.  I admit it is frustrating to try to track our progress (or, cough, the reverse) in the wake of a major Panda change, and have numbers that aren't making sense.
