I am not sure if this is a bug or if I just misunderstand what this statistic means. Either way, thank you for any advice. **Platform** (Android, iOS, Website): Website **App version number** , if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About): **Browser** , if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) : Firefox **URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages**: [https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/4498435-Texas-Top-50](https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/4498435-Texas-Top-50) **Screenshots of what you are seeing** (instructions for taking a screenshot on computers and mobile devices: [https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/](https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/)): Image of list showing that I have observed 0/52 species: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/e/8/e8b66528b374beedb046ef9b4316307f6476a0f2.jpeg) Image of my observation of one of the species on the list: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/4/6/46cdcf5f84f014c45662a3363d27af27f8b06aca.jpeg) **Description of problem** (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.): - I created a list. I have observed some, but not all of the species on the list. - I viewed the statistics for the list. It says 0/52 observed, which is incorrect. - I hard refresh (F5) the page. This does not solve the issue. - This occurs on both of my non-automatic lists and does not appear to be affected by whether observations were made before or after the creation of the list. - If taxa can or must be marked as observed manually I do not know how to do that. ---

The short answer is that lists just aren’t being updated any more, so the numbers will never update to be correct unfortunately ---
