What's this new dealy? It says for example: Views 63 (63) How is the second number different from the first and all that? I just wanna know what this means.

Was wondering whether anyone would notice.

Views are now counted with 2 different methods behind the scenes. The first number is the same old one used all along, the second one is the new method which (should) take less resources and help the site run faster in general.

For now they are being run in parallel and the 2 numbers should always be the same. If it works out, this new method will replace the old one and it'll go back to one number using the new system.

Let me know if you find numbers that are not the same, they should always be identical.

That's what Announcements are for, right?

Didn't consider it important enough to bother.

I've switched to the new system since it seems to work reliably.

Back to one number.
