  Staff will recognize I’ve reported this problem several times. I found new evidence for my case today:

  With Megan
  http://fromeverywheretoanywhere.wordpress.com on board along with my 15th email subscriber (email visible only to moderators and staff),

  I was at 313 WP followers this morning. With 8 from Tumblr, that was 321 total.
  Turns out, blogger Kathi
  http://kathikralicek.wordpress.com

  who’d in fact joined me BEFORE davedebj but appeared in my STATS list AFTER the email follower and did NOT affect my total Count of 321 all day. Tonight, limseeyee
  http://limsy62.wordpress.com raised my count only to 322. (To date, anyone who appeared in my Stats list raised my Counter).

  If this confuses, 1) I was at 312 with Megan, 2) which would then take me to 313 with davedeb 3) 314 with kathi 4) 315 with limseeyee in order of their follow.

  I still have two followers not accounted for from the past that Staff could not explain. No one can really believe that just when someone started following me I lost a follower – multiple times already. Please help.

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

  Not sure if related.

  I’ve had a 100 followers for maybe over a week now, and the notification message letting me know that I have reached 100 followers, did not arrive till today when I reached 103 followers.

  1) I always thought it was related because I stopped getting word altogether on about 40% of my follows about two months ago just as I started noticing that my counter was oddly suspicious. I felt SOMETHING was not right with my system. 2) Staff said last month it must be that the follower is not logged onto WP when I don’t get notice. 3) When I presented strong evidence otherwise (John Cha was commenting with me back and forth when he tapped follow), it was attributed to my email provider. 4) But the issue at hand is distinct: for sure my counter did not rise with those on my Stats list. THANK you for your attention and wish to be of help.
