I already created a sticky thread on it, but there's a bit more work to be done at the moment.

With the update, it went to 70-odd (which was very nice), but only where listed as 8 email subscribers. Now the page is showing 4 email subscribers, but 8 people in the CSV file...

I'm just hoping that somewhere along the way 20 email subscribers didn't get dropped from the list, since I find it hard to believe they all spontaneously decided to unsubscribe on the same day, especially a day a change was made.

How come the others aren't showing any more?? It's now only showing me the people show subscribed in the past 2 months...no one before that.

I've read through this thread but still feel a little 'in the dark' and confused about the number of people who have actually subscribed to my blog? My own Stats state 259 active subscriptions: 6 identified as WordPress.com and 253 e-mail subscribers, yet the CSV list only totals 214. Poster macmanx says that visitors who subscribe via the Subscribe link on the admin bar will not show in the CSV - does that mean the admin bar shows for every visitor? I thought it was just there for my own and other WordPress visitor's use? I've been using the CSV as a mailing list to share stuff with interested parties outside of WordPress - but am I right in thinking there are around 40 extra people who I need to weed out manually from the list? What a pain!

The CSV only contains email subscribers.

I tried comparing the lists and some address, about 1 or 2 per page, are not listed in the CSV file. Any idea why and which number is correct ? Thanks !

I feel neglected I only added maybe two subscribers and not the tons everyone else seems to have added. :)

I was hoping for more out of my own site as well. :)

Now I can see what WordPress users are subscribed and a separate tab for e-mail subscribers. In addition, the number of e-mail subscribers jumped from 62 yesterday to 89 today, even though I haven't had a huge splurge of new subscribers to justify that number. In fact, when I download the CSV, the resulting spreadsheet shows only 62. Weird.

Also, in one of my pet peeves across the internet, WP has changed the simple dates on which each subscriber joined to that horrible "1 week ago" and "2 months ago" thing. Why, are dates so hard for people to understand???

I get email notifications too but these numbers do not show in my 'number of subscribers'.

I believe most people (the ones that are not counted within stats) had subscribed through the widget whereas the ones that are counted had done so through the WordPress subscribe button above the page. Just a guess. Correct if I'm wrong.

They're required to click that in order to become an active subscriber on your blog.
