Please post in this thread so that admin can pinpoint the issue.

Some people have reported over the past few days that the views on some of their items have been reduced.We haven’t seen this happen first-hand, so if you have experienced this issue please post a specific link to the listings this has occured with.
With your help, we’ll be able to track the issue down much faster.

When asking whether views were up-to-date, I was directed to this thread, although there’s been no admin update since June 19 (almost a week). So, I guess they’re not up-to-date.
About the indexing / non-flash display delays:
RevolvingDork says:
Hi all,On thursday night night we got caught up with all of the older listings that were not appearing in searches and the categories. After that, however, newly created listings were only appearing several hours after they were listed.
This is due to the system receiving far more listing updates than it can handle in a short period of time. We’re working on optimizing this system so the delay between listing and appearing in searches is shortened, but it may take a few days.
In the meantime, listings will only appear in their categories several hours to several days after they are created. Please note that they will still appear in real time in your shop, the time machine, and listing tickers, and all other flash applications.
The site copy on the listing process has been updated to reflect this new delay.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and we will post updates as we make progress towards shrinking the lag between listing time and “searchable” time.

EDIT (about 8:30 p.m. EDT):
Looks like all the items listed 14-15 June have been indexed to the category displays and search.

Because we had to hard reboot a server this afternoon, some views on your newer listings may have appeared to reset.They’re not lost, and should return when our view aggregator runs tonight.
Sorry for the confusion, but your views should be back to normal within 24 hours.

Please note, it may also affect newer views on older listings.

All view counters are finally caught up!

Simon ran the last of the view catch-ups last night, and now the full view system is in place. This means primarily that ordering listings by view should be much more accurate than it was in the past.You may see a jump in your views due to the lost ones being added back into place. At this point, there are no more to catch up and the number you see is accurate.
