Thanks for your comment!
Under the account operations, I've been noticing that outgoing comments have not been updating as quickly as they normally do.
Yes, I've noticed that too. It seems as if some of the public Steem nodes are having some issues currently. I didn't change anything on my end regarding to receiving the account operations. You could try to switch to a different node in settings. I'm currently using 'rpc2.steemwiz.com'.
The counts in the stats come from my server and normally there is a 1-2 minute gap between the refreshs, because my current server parses new blocks in a one minute interval. That is going to change to a 30 seconds interval (maybe even more often) as soon as I can use my own seed nodes for receiving new blocks.
Very good. Thank you. I have changed to the node you suggested and the comments are definitely showing up in the list much faster.
It sounds like things are going to get even speedier. Overall, I really do like the performance of your site. It take quite a bit of time to load some of these others, let alone navigate from page to page. Having everything virtually at your fingertips is just so much faster. I really do hope you can have a successful run at witness. Your expertise in UI and development could help out a lot. I feel like the end user is as much in mind and a concern on steemworld as all of the backend stuff we never see. I hope we can support you enough that you can keep it up. :)
