Wrong article count

[Luc Pattyn]

You didn't take enough pain then, your count is wrong. There is something fishy, but it isn't as bad as you claim. :)

After this, I had to dive more into it! Well, what to say, earlier I counted twice before posting. :-D So, here is the result of my observation now:

ASP.NET : 2
Office Development: 5
Database: 17
C#: 4
VB.NET: 3
VBScript: 1
.NET Framework: 1
Windows Powershell: 5
Internet Network: 1

Total: 39

This is what I can see right now, as stated earlier. But then, I have to account your pain too (based on your reply, surely you too went down the list and did a counting! ;) ). Further, if you are saying so, there must be something for sure and guess what, I did find something more to it: There are 2 article that are in Composing state. (Probably, since I am a member of mentor group, it is visible to me.) 1 Outlook & 1 of Windows Powershell. Thus, in total 37 published but Summary says 36. Now, I guess, we must be on same agreement of something fishy but not as bad as I claimed earlier. :)

There is no need to count them manually, just use CP Vanity on a member to show and really count his articles, no pain whatsoever. Yes, 37 it is. :)

Oops! My bad :rolleyes: ... sorry Luc forgot your app for such kinda thing! Well, I guess, manual ways won't go so easily :) [Update]: BTW, my name does not show up in any kind of list! Based on current filter criterias, I am no where in it. :(

depending on the version you use it shows everybody who is on the first 4 or 5 pages of the CP Who's Who, either sorted by article count or by message count. You would need 16+ articles and/or 5000+ messages to appear in the "high achievers". CP right now does not offer a way to sort people by total reputation which I would use if available. It would probably show you in the top 20 when sorted by total rep. Sorry, there isn't much I can do about it right now, except we are trying to convince Chris to add a Web Service, and one of the features I asked for is getting a partial member list sorted by total rep. :)

It doesn't count unfinished articles in the total shown at the top of the page. I count two unfinished arfticles in your list.

I agreed & this is the original scenario. But I found 39 article in the list and only 2 unfinished article so the summery should show 37 but showing 36.

Thanks Md. Marufuzzaman
