Mentions count growing exponentially?

[learmoia]

My mentions count is growing exponentially, (0 yesterday, 3 this morning, 28 now)..  but without any mentions in the profile list..

Usually I get 1 every month or 2..

Mentions or respects?

[learmoia]

Mentions.. looks like it's cleared up now.

I noticed the count going all over the place in the header each time I checked-in. I chalked it up to database software updates trying to fix the bugs that took the site offline for parts of the past two days. IOW, a shoulder-shrug.

Me too.

Apparently the Railwire server is talking about us behind our backs...

I just randomly got 5.  Oh well at least I won't have fear of missing out.

Mentions count?  Not familiar with that.  Where do you guys see that?

@peteski should have two .. and @Chris333 has another one

[peteski]

Oh, that. Thanks.  Yes I am familiar with that. Mine never shows count does not accurately shows  the actual number of mentions when I click on that part of the menu.  I guess then mine works as designed.  It shows [2] and i have 2 notifications.

Maybe we should also ping @learmoia ?  He now should have one actual notification.  I wonder if this is somehow related to the forum outages last week?

[learmoia]

I do have 1....

What happens if I do this?

LOL!  It just showed 1 mention. I also noticed that the description on the left shows that mentions count refers to "Posts mentioning peteski", not the actual count of the @XXXX insertions within a single post.  I never really analyzed this so deeply.
