In the top right corner of every page there’s a randomly selected system stat. I’ve noticed when it’s displaying the current panel fullness, it displays either old info or info for the wrong panel. For example, right now I’m looking at it saying “Panel #661 is approximately 71% full”, when the detailed stats page says panel #661 has already been sent out for processing and #662 is 29% full.
Obviously not a significant issue for anyone hopefully, just thought you might want to know.
I’ve noticed sometimes, the web browsers (firefox/IE/Whatever) cache can sometimes not get the updated page content, and end up displaying old data stored in it’s cache.
Some times (If your behind a caching proxy/firewall/wroughter/etc), the external unit may end up doing the same thing. These external units may possibly be at the ISP caching “Popular” pages, and beyond your control.
This may be a lack/breakdown of communication between servers at sparkfun, or it may be the above caching of dynamic data between sparkfun and you.

Definitely not a simple caching proxy problem: the info box in the top-right and the body of the page are the same document, I’m looking at one HTML file that says 667 is 84% full and 668 is 16% full :P.
It could definitely be caching on the sparkfun server side. They probably cache the stats displayed in the top-right corner but do a live query for the stats page.
good point, and I see that… Not so much “Real-time” lol
The stats are a some what new thing, and clearly buggy. As of now…
home-page = Panel #681 is approximately 67% full.
BpcbStats page;
Panel #682: This panel is estimated to be 28% full
Last panel sent out for processing was 681 on 01/21/10
