Member count different in admin than in stats

So for Spark Promotion on the admin it shows there is 43 members but on the front end in the stats it’s only showing 38.

I think it's slowly coming right.

Its doing it again. It would be cool if there was a way an admin can refresh it if it's not looking right.

48 in the stats but 53 in admin.

I went to Drama Llama to check my stats. The index page says I have 24 members. The Dashboard says I have 24 members. The Member Search shows 27 members and that’s because 2 were spammers that the system took care of and one was a brand new member from 8 hours ago that probably isn’t included in the search.

I wonder for your discrepancy in the count what the criteria is for the system to make them “members”?

Yes, that would indeed be correct. Spammers are excluded.

Where do you see the spammer list? I checked the ban list but no one is banned.

Since the system takes care of spammers, I’m not sure if there is a way for us to tell?

I’m still a bit unsure about this one, @Cedric. It’s showing 99 members in the stats, but 107 in the admin panel and on the members page.

I reckon there might be an issue with how the member count is being calculated. Would it be possible to add a button to reset or recalculate the member count if this happens, so the stats can be brought back in line with the actual number of members?
