I've had this happen too. Usually it's when I go to my wallet to collect my author or curator rewards. For some reason, when I click the little black box, that number goes to 25. But if I refresh the screen, or go to another tab and come back to the wallet, then it's back to the correct number. I take is as a good little reminder to be grateful for what I have. 😁

@justtryme90 This is an awesome thread. These posts are cracking me up! 

>I bet you could kick Jafar's butt. 

Lol! But seriously, I've mentioned in several posts and interviews that my earliest Steemit inspirations we're @papa-pepper, @coruscate & @gringalicious because they all comment regularly and really interact with their followers. I've been on the platform nearly 7 months, but hadn't come across your work until this post. I have to tell you, I'm impressed you're still replying to an old post. That shows that you're not just in it for the $, but rather to help others and still interact in an entertaining way while sharing pertinent information!

Now you've got me curious to check out your profile!

Cheers!

I think the platform is undergoing some development changes under the hood, and it is not accessing the data to display the reputation number correctly right away sometimes. This is why it displays the default number (25)... but then will update later to your real number (50). 

Steemit is actively under development, so these sorts of hickups are to be expected.
