# of Comments? Always wrong/behind the times.

The "speech bubble" area on the main Lifehacker page, beside every post (Meaning Comments) never displays the correct amount of comments. It will often get stuck on 5 comments, and stay there for hours, when there could really be 50 comments on a post. I try to use the # of comments shown here as a basis of seeing if there are new replies to posts, but the # is ALWAYS wrong.

For example, 1 post I just saw had 10 discussions (With replies to each) in actuality, yet the main lifehacker.com said that it had 5.

This is not a result of the redesign, it has always been like this.
