Hi @redrowround
I'm sorry to hear that you feel you are overlooked and didn't get an answer but this is the bug forum. It works a little different as @EA_Mai has already explained. It's mostly for people to report their issues and add new information as they go along. Bugs that are established as being a bug usually have an open tag so you see that it's a bug. If a bug has a workaround that works for everyone, those are posted and the thread is marked as solved where the workaround is the solution. Those are also still open bugs.
The nature of bugs is that there's usually not more to say as they are established and being worked on. The few QA people that are in here try to get more info if needed. If not, there's usually very little answers from staff (or myself) in these threads.
EA/Maxis also doesn't give out ETAs on when something is get fixed.
The user that did get an answer felt that her problem was different from the rest but this thread is about all kinds of Gallery counter issues and to make this more clear, I'm going to turn this thread into a collection thread and list all the issues that have been mentioned in here on the first page.
You can be assured that every single post in this forum gets read and if QA needs more info they will ask in here directly. It's just a lot of work to acknowledge every single post and tbh, I myself feel stupid posting to just say: Yes, I've read.
I hope this clears it up of you a bit on how the bug forum works.
As for the problem at hand, I don't think there's a solution. It's a bug that needs fixing so there isn't anything we can do to help you with the issue.
I do hope it can be fixed soon.
