I understand loop addons are capped, however, the real number still displays in the Find Stats section.  Just curious why the cap was selected for the addons when the real number is still logged?

Probably due to size. If you allow 3-digit numbers, you need to adjust the font size, which could get tricky. 1- and 2-digit numbers can be handled with the same font size.

It's a size limit.
Getting three digits there would make the required circle too big, especially if there is only one digit inside, it would seem lost. Please note, the old cap was at 9 (although logged), so this is a big step up.
We're still discussing if using "99+", or leave it, will depend on the design in the end.

How many of the categories/badges will require 99+
Many of the badges have limitations
The multiplication process in a number of the high number categories (number of trads for example)  seems that it is unlikley 99 will ever be reached and there is (I believe) only a couple where 99 loops could be reached (366 or DT for example)  
So upping the capping was great - 99 seems a good limit
"99+" needs more space than "100" or "199" ;-)

To be honest I doubt if many cachers will reach a 99th loop in any category (except maybe DT) let alone more

Though from your query it does sound as if you have done so - nice one smiley

Also the stats sections (overall figures) and the badgegen (levels of achievement) are two different things
