Anyone else notice a sharp drop in their fan count? With one refresh I went from 937 to 873. Mass deletion of old accounts, perhaps?

They fixed the ghost friend bug so that if you add or delete anyone, the ghosts are deleted from both the mutuals list and the list of fans (people who added you). I did this and the fans number dropped over 80.

edit: xique beat me to it. :-)

Oh cool, thanks!

Btw, I didn't add or delete anyone, but I did block a spammer "fan". ;o)

Used to be if someone you friended left SU and had there acct. deleted before you had a chance to un-friend them you had a ghost. One of your allotted 200 friends was taken up by the missing friend, a "ghost".

This will still happen, but the count gets reset correctly now, every time you add or remove a friend. (This has been a major gripe going on many years now, so the solution finally coming is a joy to many. That is all of us who don't have a real life. j/k).

If you join the beta group, add then remove, and switch back to classic, the changes remain.

I was kinda surprised I had no ghost friends, although I did have quite a few ghost fans.
