I just checked a profile on one of my followers. The member has 3 marked as following. Yet only 2 show in his following box. And my numbers don't match either.(145 followers-146 following) I did a quick check on my list and the members name doesn't show up as following me, yet the member is. Why would 3 be marked as that member following, but only 2 show up as avatars in the members following box?
And here's something else that's weird. He's got 4 marked as followers (I'm marked as one of them) yet only 3 avatars show up in his follower box. Definatly a glitch here somewhere. P.S. the mentioned member just came back from a ban so maybe this has affected everything? Also another member was banned the other day. That member no longer appears on my list either, but we have not unfollowed each other. So....banning appears to affect the followers-following list. Maybe system takes a bit of time to redo list after a ban?
Looks like it's intentional... the system doesn't show the user icon/links there for users who are currently banned.
