Like virtually everyone else, I eagerly awaited the most recent hard fork. Unfortunately, now that the fork has passed, I've sadly discovered a possible bug that kicks in when I hit "Reload". (I'm using Chrome)

### Whut's With Muh Feed?

LIke many folks here, I use my feed to keep track of other posts. Like I suspect many folks do, I've become used to clicking "Reload" to get the most recent posts loaded. Sometimes the auto-refresh works; sometimes it doesn't. That's part of life on the Internet. 

Until the hardfork, this wasn't a problem. But *after* the hardfork kicked in, I noticed something weird. "Muh feed" wasn't spitting out content like it used to. So I went to my Wallet page and was shocked to discover that I was only following *nine* people!

I didn't take a screenshot at that time, because I figured it was just one-off weird. Instead, I clicked the "Followers" link to refollow everyone who followed me. I clicked the buttons fast, which got me some of those error messages; I clicked 'em slow, in one run deliberately slow (counting to five after each click); I tried several times. After all those tries, I managed to follow everyone who followed me - until I hit "Reload." Then, I saw the people I followed shrink to sixty.

### Can't Get Above Sixty

This morning, after seeing the same sixty, I *did* use screenshots.

My header (if you will) as of 10:20 AM ET today, Dec. 8th 2016. In case the numbers are too small, I have 146 followers but I'm only following 60.

Two minutes later, after I clicked the "146 Followers" link, which pulls up the page with the buttons that enable me to follow back my followers:

Two minutes afterwards, and after I slowly clicked the first seven "Follow" buttons:

In case you can't see, my follows increased by seven. That's as it should be :)

But after clicking "Reload" again, the number of people I'm following shrank back to the original 60:

and surely enough, my "Followers" page has reset:

This has happened several times, starting yesterday afternoon. The above screenshots show the most recent reset. 

### Browser's Fault?

As I said above, I'm using Chrome. Although the appearance of this glitch does dovetail with the most recent hard fork, it could be a Chrome problem. More specifically, it could be a Chrome caching problem. So before typing this report, I tried a couple of standard tricks: clearing my browser history for the last 24 hours (done yesterday evening ET) and hitting control-F5 for a hard refresh (this morning). Neither fixed the problem. 

I also checked if it were Chrome by trying to sign in via Internet Explorer last evening. Using that browser, I couldn't sign in at all! Even after entering my username and clipboarding in my password via Keepass, the "Login" button wouldn't activate. 

### Is It Just Me?

Granted: my woes could be chalked up to an inadequate desktop. (I'm using an old underpowered rig, which I'm on the verge of replacing.) It could be "just me."

**So I'm asking everyone who's reading this: *please check your Following count*. Do you see any weird changes?** Did you see your number shrink? Do you see a change after you Reload/Refresh your page? 

Also, please try adding to your follows via the "x Followers" page. Try following your unfollowed followers via this page:
https://steemit.com/@[your username]/followers . 
After you've added a few, hit Reload or Refresh. **Does Reload/Refresh void out any changes?**

### Or Is It A Real Bug?

Even though it could be "Just Me", the front-end still acted up at or around the time the hard-fork was engaged. Please see if something funny is going on with your own "control panel" (if you will.) I've already read a button-related bug report by @shla-rafia , which has to do with the "Mute" button. He said that he muted someone else [but steemd said he was following the person he muted](https://steemit.com/bug/@shla-rafia/i-found-a-bug-clicking-on-mute-will-not-mute-the-account-but-instead-follow-it). Although his bug report deals with a different functionality than mine, it does also deal with the buttons not working as they should. 

**So please check your own controls, especially the button controls, to see if you can reproduce either.**

### Thanks!
