Hey there,

our users complain about a problem with disappearing likes.  
I tried to grab the problem, but failed. So first of all (before I actually can say, what the bug is) it would be nice, to have some more information about the likes.

[Here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/different-counting-methods-for-likes-user-stats-vs-badges-maybe-bug/58145) was discussed, what the difference in the like-counter for badges an the user\_stats is.  
Now is my question: what ist the difference between the numbers likes submitted/received in

a) the user profile  
b) the user list  
c) the admin-view of the user profile

I suspect in c) likes in PMs/private categories are missing, but a) & b) should be similar (they aren’t always!)?

Maybe I’ll make a seperate post for the bug, when I can say _anything_ else about it than “likes disappearing”…

Thanks ❤
