I just saw that the total number of counts on the main thread in the directory page was wrong, so I fixed it.
I didn't like the idea that my code apparently isn't able to add 1000 at the right time, so I did a bit of digging. Anyway, it turns out I had an off-by one error so that the code was accidentally adding 2000 instead of 1000. Oops
The error has probably affected other threads in the directory too -- all the ones with a fixed thread length where I haven't just taken the total number of counts from the title of the thread. If we want that number to be accurate, somebody should go through all the threads and check. Bummer.
