Genres mostly absent

Just to mention that the drop-down list of genres are missing the majority of the usual subjects. There are now about 4 genres to choose from. Whichever way I access it, it's the same.

Reporting a bug, but also sending love to LT!

So it's not just me then. I see:

Art & Design
Biography & Memoir
Business
Christian Fiction

(Even though I don't have Christian Fiction activated!)

Same. All genres show up on the titles, and in the "Genres" view, but it's these four (two of which I have deactivated) in the drop-down for in-catalog editing.

I believe these are the first four alphabetically, if it helps.

Could this be related to the Stats overhaul that they started yesterday?

Thanks for fixing it. It surely must be a constant problem developing a live system with people using it. Respect!

In theory there are systems for separating the two. In this case, I sent a "1" into something believing it was turning it on. But it was expecting the user id. I am user id 1, and my genre list was small because I was testing it. :)
