Thanks for your comment!
Under the account operations, I've been noticing that outgoing comments have not been updating as quickly as they normally do.
Yes, I've noticed that too. It seems as if some of the public Steem nodes are having some issues currently. I didn't change anything on my end regarding to receiving the account operations. You could try to switch to a different node in settings. I'm currently using 'rpc2.steemwiz.com'.
The counts in the stats come from my server and normally there is a 1-2 minute gap between the refreshs, because my current server parses new blocks in a one minute interval. That is going to change to a 30 seconds interval (maybe even more often) as soon as I can use my own seed nodes for receiving new blocks.
