My counter started at much higher number than I create it with. What is going on?
Chances are that you are not using the counter that you just created. You might have inadvertently started using someone else’s counter as a mistake because of typo. It is also possible that you are using the name counter. This happens a lot because people forget to replace the name string from the HTML examples in the Usage Page with their own counter name. Verify that your HTML IMG code uses the counter name that you created. You can use the Query Page to see if your counter name is what you think it is.
