Has anyone else had an issue like this..?
Last week, I was proud to see that one of my articles had been read by 200,000 readers.
A free "Export to Excel" C# class, using OpenXML[^]
Yet this week... it shows that just 463 people have read it.
Oh, and out of these 463 people, 9,300 of them have downloaded the source code !!
Errr, guys, what's going on..?
(A day later..)
Well, the "Views" count for my article is now upto "107.8K".
Not quite the 200,000 it was last week, but getting closer !!

Reported[^] it for you. What I can imagine is that "468" means *468000*, but that would be rather user unfriendly.
Let's see what the Admins are gonna say, there were other reports about missing data.

> What I can imagine is that "468" means *468000*, but that would be rather user unfriendly.
I don't think so.
Last week, those 200,000 views were showing as "200k".
To me, it looks like the counter just got reset, as 468 sounds like the number of views the article was getting per day.
> I must confess it was me, I downloaded it 8837 times (it was soooo good)
Cool, okay then, problem solved !!
Hope you're having fun exporting data to your 8837 Excel files then...
(Speaking of which... Excel 2013, what the hell was Microsoft thinking...?! It's just horrible.)

I'm English... are you saying I have an alcohol problem ?
(Scratches head.)
Hmmm, fair point.

I reloaded all the page view counts. I'm not sure why it was showing 200K before, but these are the counts calculated from our view logs.
|
|
|
|
|
"I'm not sure why it was showing 200K before"
The article gets about 400 views per day, and it's been live since Dec 5 2013, that's 546 days.
I'll leave you to do the Maths...
Again... the Views count was correct until the past day or two. I'm not imagining things !

This is a shameless self-plug for my first ever paid article, on CodeGuru[^].
There are a few small editing issues where their CSM doesn't quite agree with the Word doc I submitted, but in time I'll learn to format specifically for that CMS.

I'm not allowed to publish it elsewhere.

The priest who was the celebrant for our wedding told me beforehand that he thought that the bride and I would have the perfect marriage. So I called it off. I'd only have ruined it!

A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said, "Well yeah, if that's what they are called -- I never heard of circle flies."
So the farmer says, "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's rear end?" The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement to even think about calling you such a name."
The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."
I'll get my coat.

Finally had to give in and use Chrome as my default web browser. IE11 simply would not display CP correctly and we can't have that! Naturally I tried compatibility settings and some other bits but it still looked awful. So, hello 21st century!
