The tile count stopped working today. I noticed this morning. I also noticed that the news post from 10:05am this morning titled"Developers leak new features included in Windows Phone 8.1 SDK" is stuck at the top and all newer posts are underneath it. Never had this happen before. Is this happening to anyone else?!

Ok, got it, but my tile is not showing the new post counts. It stopped working when the WP8.1 sticky post was posted on top.

Yes HTC13, the same is the case at my end too. I think only when a post gets the first place on its entry, the count reflects on the live tile. Since the "Developers leak new features..." post is made sticky on first position, the app probably doesn't realize new posts entering below it. Only Jay will be able to elaborate on this as he is the developer.

Lance basically got it in one. The live tile works by seeing how many new posts have come in since your last read one. Unfortunately with the guys sticky-ing this one story up top that means it gets to item one and goes "oh ok nothing new".

The writers have never done this before, but basically it won't come back again until they de-sticky that story.

The sticky post is un-stuck but my live tiles are still not working. I uninstalled the app, reinstalled an enabled the iconic live tile an still not updating tile count....there have been newer posts....checked manually.

The live tile is working now. After the sticky was removed, Daniel posted about the Icon and it reflected with count 1 on my live tile. So it seems to be working properly here for me.
