I've just noticed, my page impressions counter on the banners sysem has gone crazy (xoops 2.0.16).

Its counting like 10 times the number of page loads that I actually have - how can that be? If I keep refreshing the banners admin page every 10 secs the impressions counter of the banner has jumped by at least 10 - but I know I'm getting no where near that traffic.

How does the banner system count impressions?

Could this be a sign of something more serious? I've been having problems with keeping my MySQL tables optimized recently - could this be connected?
