For as long as I’ve been on LT my most popular book has been To Kill a Mockingbird. I think it was yesterday that I noticed that other books were listed as more popular such as The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, The Lovely Bones and others. So I clicked on a few of their ‘Social Data’ links and scrolled down to the ‘Show all Members’ link and clicked on it. It brought up the 1000’s of members. Next I click my back button to go back to my library and found that those books were now further down in the list of shared books. So I went through the same process with a few more and noted the numbers before and after. Here are some of those I noted:

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time went from 6812 shared to 4527
Wuthering Heights 6076 – 4817
The Lovely Bones 4792 – 3293
The Chronicles of Narnia 5523 – 4145

So then I thought I’d repeat the process on those books I had already checked on and when I clicked on the ‘Show all Members’ link it now simply hangs at ‘loading...’.

Don’t know if this is something minor that will update/fix itself or if it is something that needs looking into.

I did the same process as above for the two most popular books in Zeitgeist. I do not own either of these books.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Zeitgeist had 13,442, the Social Info page had 14,096 and after clicking on the 'show all members' link it lists 10,293

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Z = 12,612, S = 13,245 After = 9635

I realize that the zietgeist page doesn't update instantly. Simply listing the numbers incase they help.
