Eh, no it doesn't need to be changed.

As Chris put it, "wait, so my status as busy on msn has something to do with my rank/importance?"

Fixed. Weird how we've even used postbit_seperator for all this time and no one noticed

There is nothing wrong with "Recount" - Here's the definition: 'count again; "We had to recount all the votes after an accusation of fraud was made"'
I would say that Statuses and Functionality have been "Hijacked" in this case to suit a purpose, rather than what they are intended to mean in the English Dictionaries. Toungue

merriam-webster "Hijacker of the English Language", next we'll all be speaking American. Sad

Anyway, I don't care whether you change it or not - I only suggest the alternative, what you do with it is your decision.

Be it as it may, that's how it's used by the common man and that's how we'll use it.

You both are right, it just depends on what the MyBB Developers decide to "input". Big Grin
Marking as fixed for what I've said is "fixed" - Everything else hasn't changed
Thank you for your bug report.

This bug has been fixed in our internal code repository. Please note that the problem will not be fixed here until these forums are updated.
I think what he/she meant about "recount" is the inconsistencies--half the time in the Admin CP it says "Re-count" and the other half it says "Recount." Also note that you use "logout" in the same verb tense spelled "Log Out"--it says "Log Out" at the top and "Logout" in the footer on the index.
Fixed the inconsistencies you pointed out.
