My subscriber numbers on my main feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/
vitaminmasterfeed) have dropped from about 60k to about 30k - I
thought it was a temporary problem but it doesn't seem to be. Traffic
figures are the same so I can't see why this should have happened,
especially as my other feeds are fine. Anyone having the same problem?

Lots of other people are experiencing the same issue:
seems like bloglines numbers are wrong.
Codebetter, a .NET tech blog, has 2.8k bloglines subscribers reported
on feedburner, while they are 14k on bloglines

Thanks Simone. Looking into it in more detail, yes, the bloglines
numbers are off by about 1000, but also my My Yahoo! subscribers have
plummeted - that's where the drop seems to have come from. I'm not
sure that the numbers being reported for My Yahoo were accurate in the
first place - I doubt that more of our readers would use My Yahoo
over, say, Netvibes or Google....

Exactly the same here, my Feed has dropped from 7200 to 3800 today...
and yesterday, it was at 5200 I think, which is not possible.
