The screenshots speak for itself. How is it possible to have 2 upvotes but only 1 view (which should be anyway my view)?

Link to the question. I tried to refresh and hard refresh but the view count is still stuck at 1.

I don't think that this is a cache problem (although I have to say that I know really little on the subject) because this never happened to me on other SE sites before. Moreover, I observe the same as the screenshots on 3 different browsers and after closing/reopening the browsers.

  • @PatrickHofman Well, I'm not sure it is because of the cache (although I have to say that I know really little on the subject) because this never happened to me on other SE sites before. Moreover, I observe the same on 3 different browsers.

    @PatrickHofman I added the screenshot with 1 upvote to show why I was puzzled and replaced the bug tag by the support tag.

I am pretty sure this is a caching 'problem'. The server side cache caches data sets specific to a view, so it is possible that the question page cache has another number as the main question list.

You just need to wait a few minutes, and all numbers will align again. You can't affect this yourself, so clearing your client side cache, using another browser, etc. doesn't help.

  • "You just need to wait a few minutes" I waited about 50 minutes between the first upvote and second one.

  • Indeed... So I guess this is not happening on math.SE because it's not a beta site..?

    Not sure, but the cycles might not be that frequent on beta sites for example due to their lower traffic. May 30, 2016 at 12:06
