  The new change to Dashboard moved lots of things about. No apparent benefit, but no harm, either. But the Askimet report is not being updated accurately. For example, I went to Comments, found that I had 2 spam entries, deleted all, and they both went away. Then I looked at the report on the Dashboard, after update. Still says 2 spam entries.

  Why not the accurate 0 entries, as it was prior to new update?

  Hi there – Currently your Dashboard says there’s 1 comment in your spam queue, which is accurate. It might not update immediately. Maybe next time try clearing your browser cache.

  I have seen the Akismet count off from time to time – since WordPress.COM is hosted on three massive server farms I have always chalked this up to caching issues between the three different server farms.

  When I first moved here the page view count would go up and down a few counts from time to time and figured it was caching issues also – but have not noticed the page views bouncing in quite some time.
