Steem: No of People I Am Following has gone from 753 to 61 without my intervention since HF today

Created on 7 Dec 2016 · 7Comments · Source: steemit/steem

As stated I just noticed the number of people I am following is now showing as 61 (instead of 753). If I click on the link it only allows me to view 61 names. I have already had one user asking me why I unfollowed. I am assuming this is a bug? My follower number has not changed. Here is a post I made about this. It seems I am not the only experiencer of this issue:

I thought I should let you all know ASAP. Thanks.

OK more information. It seems to be a display issue. Logging out and then in restores the followers to the previous number. Refreshing the page puts it back to 61. However checking Steemdb still shows the correct number. Also on speaking to others who have the exact same issue neither my nor their number of followers has changed.

Edit I have rechecked and SteemDB still shows the old amount of 754 - also it says that the snapshot is 12 minutes old which suggests that the information is correct on the blockchain.

I am not a techhie at all.... but many are having the same issues, as am I. Here is my post to show the screen caps.

I see the same issue. My profile cycles between 143 and 1034 people followed.
If I hard refresh my profile page it shows 1034 for a moment, before changing back to 143 ..

I noticed the people that are being displayed are people I have recently followed Im assuming follows before a certain time frame are not displaying. Hmmm....

The people that are being displayed for me are not recent follows (at least not all of them).

I doubt this issue belongs in here, more likely to be a GUI issue so it should be in https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com/issues

That said, I'm unable to reproduce this issue on steemit.com, you both get correct counts every time I refresh the page.
