It works fine on my blog – so it’s possible another plugin is messing things up.
You could test by disabling the other plugins…

Done. I’ve tried to disable all other plugins, and I’ve tried adding comments when logged in, when not logged in, and as a previously unapproved commenter. The popularity values were increased by 1 for every comment, probably because you get the full post view (which I have set to 1 point)?
I tried to change the value of a comment to 11, thinking there might be a problem with handling 10 properly. No result.
I suppose this plugin calculates popularity every time I reload the page? That is – if I change values of anything and save them to the database, and then reload the page – I will get some new scores, right?
btw. I use the 1.0 beta 4, perhaps there is a newer version out there?
EDIT: Updated to version 1.0, didn’t help.
Are the comment counts being recorded in the database?

What exactly am I looking for, and where?
If you mean the number of comments registered in “wp_ak_popularity”, then yes – they are registered.
The values in “wp_ak_popularity_options” are also correct.
Sorry, this works fine for me so I have no idea what the problem is. Is anyone else having this trouble?

Just a thought; If a post’s popularity is calculated as a percentage of the most popular post, and a couple of posts have got a huge amount of comments (eg. spam), the value of a single comment would be neglectible, right?
Can this be it, or have I misunderstood how your plugin works?
I have a couple of post’s from back in the days (before spamprotection) that has got more than five hundred comments registered in the database (although they are deleted from the blog).
