  For some reason, my followers as well as email followers have been erased from the site stats. I refreshed the page and then noticed that the followers went from 16 to 0. Anyone else having this problem?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There are multiple threads – same issue and all on the front page of the forum. I guess no one can read the threads that went before theirs and post into them. All are tagged for Staff.

  I just watched all my followers, email followers also, literally just drain away from my site stats. I’ve put a post out to ask if anyone can help. I see that I’m not the only one, so I am a little relieved as I thought it was something I had done, but I am panicking as according to WordPress I now have zero followers!!! Please help!!!

  @TT -since when do many posters in the forum look before posting – with 40 or more open posts – guess not many –

  Guess the staff is tinkering – like most things this too will pass

  Why on Earth would you panic? When a widespread issue like this one happens it’s caused by something Staff are working on and they will restore it as soon as they can. Remain calm and carry on blogging.

  Hurrah! This morning I had 23 followers, looked just now and there were 18, and now suddenly there’s none! Where have they gone, what is happening?

  Since never based on 7 years experience. However, one can hope, right?

  @TT – hope springs eternal I guess – but it would sure make everyone’s job easier if they funneled into one or two posts – much less to clean up

  @auxclass
  Agreed but it’s gone past that point now so I created the same tag for all threads.
