Why Does Tweetmeme not work for me?

I'm pretty sure I am doing this right, I am clicking the "ReTweet" button which is new on Mahalo here, but the numbers do not increase with my clicks.

The two with arrows were used by clicking the ReTweet button on Mahalo pages. Specifically the Clean Coal topic page and a question I posted here on Answers.

As you can see, both of those pages still show "0" retweets two days later.

Any ideas?

I am just learning about that button myself, but found out recently that if you don't press the retweet button at the bottom, but press the larger white button, it takes you to here http://help.tweetmeme.com/forum/ which seems to tell you about what this thing is. I noticed just now that there are two messages pinned to the top and the first one is from 2 days ago about technical upgrades they are making to the system moving it to a new one and all the kinds of problems you may experience. For me, on one page it did not seem to work anymore because I had too many red pins in my page and when I removed them all it was fine, they said a delay in loading can also stop it from working.

It could just be a delay. I tried tweeting one of my pages and it stayed at 0, but I checked it just now and it shows 1 tweet.

I use this button on my site at http://2s2d.net - I found that if I left the default username of @tweetmeme then the numbers would not increase. Once I changed the default to my username @tchachra then voila, the numbers worked as they should.
