  I bounced this of Mark quite some time ago but never heard anything back. When you use both top level categories and subcategories under those, the system will count a single post mark as being within both those categories as seperate.

  For example, if you take a look at this blog, it says I have 4,900 posts in the top category. I may be creative but not to that level. :)

  *sigh* Oh woes is me! Would someone from staff PLEASE tell me that this heart breaking issue will be looked at and the coding monkeys will hop right on it. :)

  *sigh* I guess Mark didn’t like the ‘coding monkeys’ comment. :)

  edit: I think I’ll go change my avatar…

  Is that a Republican?

  Yep, it sure looks like an evolving Republican in retrogression to me too. ;)

  No, no, it looks like an improvement, moving upward. I wondered what Rumsfeld was gonna do now; being Dr Mike’s avatar is as good a gig as he can realistically expect.

  Actually it looks more like my ex mother in law.

  ANYWAY…

  I think I’ll go send in a feedback with a pointer to this thread.

  I love this forum! :)

  @drmike:
  I noticed this counting bug, too. Wondered how I had 5 times my number of total posts in the top level category. Crazy. Hope this gets fixed.

  I’m not going to touch the comment about your ex mother in law. :D

  @drmike
  :O … if that simian is indeed what your mother-in-law looked like and her daughter resembled her, then you obviously didn’t marry her for her good looks. It must have been for her brains and money, right? *lol*

  Would be nice if I had done 4900 of those things though.

  :whistle:

  Maybe if I send them some BBQ…
