I noticed lately that some of my ads revert back to 0 views? Any reason ?

That’s happening to me too. My views aren't resetting to zero, but I loose some hits almost every day.

Some of the numbers dropped about 1.5 days ago when the site updated a piece of software. The counters could have dropped by up to around 10 hits per ad.
(The number is a bit random, sort of hard to explain)

If you had a fairly new ad at that time with a really low counter, it could have reset to zero.

There should not be any drops since that time.

I took a print screen of my Manage screen as of right now so I can look at the counters tomorrow to check for any issues.

Ads are broken for me. I only see the top main ad. I see the events scrolling too but that's about it.

Featured ads is completely broken. Highlights too.

This sounds like a new topic than what is above.

On the Home Page?
Everything is fine for me and no one has reported any other issue.

So, this is what I am seeing with IE11 right now. Maybe a Java issue on my system? I'll let you know what fixes it.

I logged in to my system at work and the site looks normal from there, so it must be my home system, though I did reboot and Java is up to date.

So its just me Rolling Eyes

As of this am, nothing has changed except a couple of my counters are higher.

The new ad I placed yesterday went from 0 to 24.

I will keep an eye on it though.

Same thing today - the counters I checked are either unchanged or slightly higher.

I think you guys just saw the result of the counter software restarting as I stated above. This is confusing though and it was worth asking about it in case there was some issue.

I explained it above:

Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense and I'll try to explain further.

If the older ones had a really low counter they could have been reset to zero too.

I don't know if that was the case?

None of my older ads were reset.

When I checked them just now all but one was getting views so I renewed that one and will see what happens. I use the views and watchers to try and see if I am in the ball park price wise and when they keep resetting it tells me nothing.

Older ads do not always get a ton of views.
I have noticed that myself on my own ads.

For a while I had a thing I made that was tracking all of my ads for me to see what the counts were at midnight every night and I confirmed this fact. Some went up by only 1 view/day or even zero but then be 4 or 5 or 7 another day, it appeared to be almost random.

Watchers opinion:
I don't know if the watchers tells you anything from a price perspective but this can mean someone is watching to see if you drop the price.
A lot of people just watch ads so they can find it later, I do that with some ads myself and I know some people on the site watch hundreds of ads for this reason.
