I would have asked this question in the chatterbox first if I had been in your place, as it would have been easier to just say "hey guys do you see seven or eight posts in the list of my writeups?" I count 8 posts in the list of writeups, including your question. The count is also listed at 8. I'm almost certain this has come up several times in Discussion as a bug, but I couldn't find it in Super Search either, brain freeze or something. e-mail neshura	[reply]

Other than ppl that have been around since before the node counting code got straightened out (and NodeReaper who experienced a separate bug), the only reason I've seen for write-up counts to be off is that Categorized Questions and Categorized Answers are counted but don't show in your list of write-ups (because they end up being owned by QandAEditors for convoluted historical reasons). - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]

I have noticed that when you vote on the voting booth that it adds one writeup your list. I don't know why this happens but I know that I only have 164 (165 after I post this) but on my homenode it says that I have 182. Strange, no? `$_.=($=+(6<<1));print(chr(my$a=$_));$^H=$_+$_;$_=$^H; print chr($_-39); # Easy but its ok.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Have you seen in 'Newest Nodes' in the 'New Notes' section the posts with the caption of the voting booth? Investigate!	[reply]
