I think the platform is undergoing some development changes under the hood, and it is not accessing the data to display the reputation number correctly right away sometimes. This is why it displays the default number (25)... but then will update later to your real number (50).
Steemit is actively under development, so these sorts of hickups are to be expected.
Aren't we all continually undergoing development? ;) I know I am and I'm approaching 60 years old. It's all about the journey and not the destination.
Thanks for the info.
Peace

I'm still at 25 but have been upvoting and got some on my introduction post. I am new but I'm watching people I started with's numbers go up and mine stays 25 :( I wish I was still 25 years old, maybe that's why lol
Depends on the reputation of the people voting on you. I for instance could raise your reputation quite a bit with a vote. However I can't vote on a comment that is so old, nothing will happen.
