I made a set that's literally an exact copy of my favs, I clicked each one manually lmao, and the set ended up containing 1024 posts which is 10 short of my actual fav count, which is 1034. I'm not sure what's going on or what happened to the 10 posts.
I did search "fav:[USERNAME] -set:[SETNAME]" which shows you all the posts you've favourited that aren't in the set, the but the results turned up nothing because the set and my favs look exactly the same. I've even looked through my favs and the set and they're literally identical and I've found nothing that explains the 10 post discrepancy. I've also tried searching for deleted posts to see if there are any deleted posts that are in my favs. Zero results. So what happened to the 10 posts that seemingly vanished?
I don't know if I'm right about this but I'm guessing there's maybe another type of post deletion that completely removes the post and makes it completely unsearchable, unlike regular deleted posts which can be found via search. It would explain what happened and why there's a number discrepancy.

Idk what category this post should even be lmao

I'm not sure if the "Refresh counts" link would fix the favorite count being off? https://e621.net/maintenance/user/count_fixes/new
It doesn't seem to be off? I have it set to show 160 posts per page, and you have 74 posts on page 7 of your favorites (160 * 6 + 74 = 1034). That means the set count is off, if it's truly the same posts.

Nope. That didn't do anything.

I just counted them myself. I have 250 per page, 4 pages = 1000. Both my set and my faves have 34 on the final page. It's very clearly 1034 for both. The post count is the exact same but what it displays is wrong for some reason.

I checked a few of my sets (set:<setname> status:any), and the numbers are correct for the sets I checked. I guess that doesn't really help... :/
