Stat Update Delay

1. STAFF

   pauldeedsposted 13 years ago

   Some of our differentially updated Hub stats drifted out of alignment over the weekend when one of our servers failed (which can result in negative totals, and other strangeness).   This happens occasionally, and to fix it we have to reprocess everything from scratch (instead of just the most recent hour).  We are doing that now, which means your Hub stats won't be updated for about the next 6-8 hours.  No data was lost, nor will any be during that time.
   
   UPDATE: It's taking a bit longer than expected, it looks like it will be another 12 hours or so.
   
   UPDATE 2: The process is complete, and data from the last 24 hours for Hubs is being processed now.  You should be seeing your view totals move now.  We should be completely caught up in an hour or two (about 4pm pacific)

      My total page-views have  crossed 10K (10,250+) but it's yet to be reflected in the accolades. Mr. Paul Deeds, is this delay due to the same reason? When can I expect to see the accolade updated? Thanks!

   Thanks for posting this Paul. I did noticed the stats were a little weird acting over the weekend.

   It's always good to hear that there's an explanation for the occasional weirdness.  Would this possibly be the reason why I didn't see any views whatsoever from HubPages for several days?

    Hmmm. my stats seem fine but when I checked on an older hub to refresh it, my changes didn't 'take.' Can't load pix either. Maybe it's all one big mess. Good luck.

       Yes I agree.  It's bad enough being hit with all the problems of the last few months without this kind of 'additional' stuff.  We're hurting down here... at least I am.

          Given the choice between early entry into the HP ads scheme with a few glitches, and late entry with perfect stats, I would've still taken the former.

             Since my weekly earnings on HP Ads are well under 50 cents, I would prefer to see a site that wasn't broken! This sort of stuff happening so frequently does not give me confidence in the future of this site.

                WriteAngled, the HP Ad program wasn't to be rolled out until June anyway. It's new. Be patient.  I am sure that the glitches are only affecting reporting. Not earnings.

    I've not been paying attention to my overall total view count, but the stats on my hottest Hub haven't moved in the last 24 hours or more. 
    
    Of course, that one's always had a couple of strange quirks in its numbers.  Pull up the stats window on the Hub's page, and the total views are always a couple of thousand more than show on the overall stats page, for one.  Plus, despite view counts ranging from a high of thousands to a low of around a hundred views per day, the seven-day count (only--the others are fine) has always shown nothing but an absolute zero.
    
    No other Hub is doing THAT!

          Remind me never to get into a quickdraw shooting contest with you, Paul.  Before I could get around to identifiying the Hub (since I hadn't checked the Forums or my email for a bit), all the stats were suddenly, magically working perfectly.

    I'm just a handful of page views away from my first 1000 (not much for most of you, I know, but a milestone for me), and the count has been stuck for at least 24 hours now.
    
    I know I should just chill, but I'd appreciate another update since the original estimate and first update have been exceeded by another several hours of static stats.

       The outstanding issue this thread refers to was the viewing figures, I believe.  They seem to be sorted now. 
       
       The earnings figures haven't been resolved for anyone, so it says on the earnings page.

    Is anyone else also noticing that their hubscore has not changed in days.  Also, what's with so many hubs starting at a score in the mid to high 40's?  I thought that as a general rule they start at 50?  I started one this morning that I am working on (not published yet) and it's down to 46.  What is going on???  I've checked some others recently published by other people and it's very similar.  I've never seen this happen before.

       The number of words that your hub contains has a direct effect on your initial hubscore of that hub. I think something has changed.

       Is HP a site run by professionals? It's becoming a complete joke these days! HP ads earnings are not updating... (4 days in a row... ha ha ha)!!! One of my accolades (thumb's up, thumb's down) is going to see his girlfriend in an hourly basis (with his thumb up) and again returning back when he discovers she is with another guy (with his thumb down)! Only the moderators are working 36 hours a day!
