# The Number Of Followers...

Try opening the image in a new tab to view it properly.

I just discovered something. No matter how many followers you have, you can't see more than $$100$$ of them in the followers page under your profile. Is this a bug? Or is this the intended behavior? This means if you have more than a hundred followers, some of them will not be displayed on the page. How is this determined?

The image above is a screenshot of my "followers" page and search bar is showing that the term "followers" appears $$102$$ times on the page. If we discount the ones on top and the left of the page, we're left with $$100$$ followers when clearly I have more.

So, is this a bug?

Thank you.

PS: I've tried this with other users' profiles as well. Even if this is the intended behavior, it seems a bit odd to me.

Mursalin -- nothing escapes your eyes! We only show 100 profiles for now. That is a shortcut that we took in order to keep the page fast. Someday in the (near) future, we will add a "load more" feature. Staff · 3 years, 2 months ago

Was that a compliment? :)

That is really considerate.

Someday in the (near) future, we will add a "load more" feature.

Heaven knows that if someone were trying to load my "Following" page, that it would surely crash their computer. :) · 3 years, 2 months ago

You should think about what would happen if someone wanted to see the followers page of the best of algebra! · 3 years, 2 months ago

So true. Staff · 3 years, 2 months ago

who will solve this: In the series of odd numbers 1+ 3 + 5 – 7 – 9 – 11+13 +15 +17 – 19 – 21– 23 ... the signs alternate every three terms, as shown. What is the sum of the first 360 terms of the series? · 3 years, 2 months ago

-1080. · 3 years, 2 months ago

how did you solve that? · 3 years, 2 months ago

Make groups of 6 consecutive terms! So there will be $$\frac{360}{6}=60$$ groups! And some of each group will be $$-18$$...

So sum$$=60×-18=-1080$$ · 2 years, 2 months ago
