You thought 75,000+ unread items is something, you would probably have a heart attack with 849,702+ unread items! Yes! I'm NOT KIDDING! I should have taken a screenshot. I thought about it but didn't do so.

This problem started last night I noticed. I was up until 1am PST and I was starting to get annoyed with the feeds not being cleared or "read". I tried to click on "mark everything read" and it would come back when I click on the folder again. I went to sleep and woke up this morning to find all those unread items.

It was hard to sift through only the new items that I need to read so I started to check out Newsgator, the competitor. I still like Bloglines, but Newsgator will now be my backup. Spent the whole day adding the feeds over to Newsgator but when you have over 1300+ more like close to 1400 since I'm at 1392 feeds, it will take a while.

Just thought I'd add in my thoughts.
