I'm just wondering:

Received: 351
Helpful: 354

The number of helpful marked comments in my profile is higher than the number of received comments... and I know for sure that I didn't mark ALL comments because some of them I made myself....
What is the cause of this? Did it happen to somebody else too?

I don't want to seem prickly, I just want to know because sometimes I'm checking my not helpful marked comments in case I missed one (what a nice surprise that might be!)

Mine is the same way..

From my end, the other comments come from side challenges, if you post in there or other photos you post on the threads.

Mine are correct. Thanks for making me go and check because I picked up about 10 that I hadn't marked yet. Other than those, out of 9,500 odd, about 50 less marked helpful than received and I just checked it out (counted them). Most of those are my own responses to comments by others (but there are a few genuinely unhelpful ones which haven't been ticked).

There's a function in place to mix it up a bit while images are in voting. If I comment on an image I think is yours and then check and notice your comments received have gone up, then I know I've flushed you out. So something's been put in place to prevent this from happening... and things get a bit screwy in the meantime.

Next time you're not in a challenge, check it and it will be accurate.

Thank you, Julie for your pointer to a solution. Still I don't get it.. it's probably too late for me and I should go to bed...almost midnight here ...

I haven't entered a side challenge so far, I wouldn't even know how to accomplish that.

How can I mark more comments helpful than I received?

Ahh Scott, thank you
that sounds logical, I'll do that!
