Anyone noticed problems with the stats that flickr produce for your account (pro only accounts)?

On Thursday and Friday last week, my stats showed that my stream was viewed over 80 times on both of those days; in fact on one of those days I had over 100 views.

I've just looked at my stats today and for those days it now shows as zero views. In fact, for last Thursday it shows zero views but 10 comments and 1 fav???? How????

Is flickr having a 'hiccup' or does this mis-representation of stats happen regularly? Surely one of the appeals for a pro account is the ability to view stats? What is the point if they aren't going to be shown accurately?
 
Flickr stats are a complete waste of time IMO, especially if you are looking at the referrals. 'Unknown source' is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard!

Can't say I noticed any change in my stats last week though :shrug:
 
Yeah mine went belly up last week aswell, seems to happen every once in a while, do agree with the unknown source thing on referalls whats the use in that:shrug:
 
It happens from time-to-time. Sometimes the data isn't collected, sometimes the individual photo stats are there but the account daily total doesn't work.

If people set their browser security status not to reveal the data, there's b****r all that Flickr can do to reduce the number of "unknown source" counts.
 
Mine's gone funny this weekend too, one day is showing no views on the graph but clicking on the dot shows that there were and most of which were through flickr and not unknown sources.
