Don,
Let's put this discussion on hold as we have much more higher priorities than getting counters to update in real-time (at this time).
Plus, my work monitor is dead and I'm waiting for the tech to come here in the next day or two (ASUS onsite service).
I did say that this was a nit to be added to the BOTTOM of your list of things to do...
But, as I said, if I hit the thanks icon and refresh the screen, the counter is incremented in real time. And, if I remove my thanks and refresh the screen, the counter is decremented in real time. I could easily believe that cron was invoked between hitting the thanks icon and refreshing the screen OR between hitting remove thanks and refreshing the screen; but I can't believe that cron is running twice in less than five seconds and catching both the increment and decrement at just the right times to update the counter on both screen refreshes.
See the attached three sequential screen shots noting the timestamps on the screen shots and the thanks counter in the upper right corner of your post. (It did take me 12 seconds to get the three screen shots, but I still find it unlikely that cron ran twice in that 12 second period.)
It seems that the names of the underlying files isn't included when the screen shots are uploaded. The timestamps on the three screen shots are: 2018-07-31 at 8.57.52 PM, 2018-07-31 at 8.57.57 PM, and 2018-07-31 at 8.58.04 PM.
