Great plugin -- except the counting doesn't work.

For example, I am watching a number of posts. I login, and I see "Watching: 3". Indicating 3 updates. I click on it, and I notice that there is only 1 new post. So why does it say 3? This error appears consistent for other users as well as they all complain about this.

Thoughts?

can you provide more info?  just tried testing it and worked fine...

any caching plugins?  were there more than one post in a topic?  did you visit any topic that might have had a post without using the links in the watch popup (or page)?

Hi Cringe Channel and Mr Papa.

This is happening to me as well. I thought it might have been just my install, but I just watched a post (this one in fact) and the watch count did not move to 1. I tried refreshing, navigating back and forth etc. See screenshot.

Michael, not sure what you mean...  the count is the number of new, unread posts in a watched topic.. it is not the count of watches you have...
