It doesn't do that for me. What version are you running? Are you using stubs or a template or a blog# on index? Have you undone the hacks that didn't work? Have you undone any hacks that you did right before noticing this problem? Can you provide a link that doesn't deliver a 403 error?

The 1/2 simply was an odd coincidence...

What happened was that I had set up my all blog to not include certain blogs... apparently it would count these posts toward the total for the page whether they showed up or not....

Just so happened that I had about the same amount of posts coming in that I did not want to see as I did.

I was able to override the number of posts for my all blog "1" in the _blog_main.php in the B2evocore folder.... and still keep my other blogs at the preset number.
