  I am the owner of luckybydesignblog.com. For the past few months my followers have increased from 800 to 1177 and it’s been growing steadily. Suddenly last week it dropped to 23. What happened? I need your help desperately. I can’t believe that many people would suddenly stop following me overnight.

  Hi there,

  Sorry about that! We recently changed Publicize, and it messed up the follower accounts.

  You can fix it by doing the following:

  * Publishing something and Publicizing it out to those services. The number is automatically refreshed each time you Publicize something, so the next time you publish, it should fix itself magically
  * If you can’t wait, then just disconnect and reconnect each service, which will also force the number to be refreshed.
