EasySocial Toolbar - AJAX Notification Counter Not Updating Automatically

The item I'm bringing up here is regarding the EasySocial toolbar. Having switched over from JomSocial, their toolbar automatically displays an updated number count for notifications. To my understanding and what I can see with EasySocial, it should be working the same way.

Since day one, I've been testing and have yet to see the number icon become visible and update based on new notifications, I am always having to reload the page in order to see the number. I tested this on the default Joomla template "Beez3 - Default" and still doesn't work so I am unsure that this is template related. I do believe in the very beginning, I tested on a fresh Joomla installation and still had this issue, so I'm unsure if this might be a conflict with another plugin/extension.

I've tested between two accounts on different browsers, please refer to attachment to get a better idea of the issue I'm facing.

I've tested the ES Demo on StackIdeas between Darius and Nadia. It appears the AJAX Notifications work perfectly fine on there and appear to show up after about 60 seconds.

I appreciate your time and any support provided on this matter
