I like it and prefer it to Flickr but sometimes it baffles me??????

I know you get likes and dislikes and and each one affects the affection score but how come people are hitting the like button and the score on the picture goes up but the affection score is going down????

Is it just a glitch or does the system occasionally knock the affection score down when people hit the like button?

I believe the affection score is an average of how many people like your images as a percentage of how many views you get. So it's normal for it to decrease if you get a lot of views but only a few likes.

[edit]
Oh wait, that's the rating view for the image that I am describing, not affection. I'm not sure why you're experiencing that.

It's a mystery!!!

Just had some more likes and fave's but the affection score is going down with each one?

Not the end of the world but was just curious as to why it's happening. First time it's done this.
