Total - Sometimes includes lab caches, sometimes not. Affects all badges & stats

In the last month, sometimes I log on (I am a paying member) I get your total is 4000 caches plus 500 lab caches. Total 4500 caches. BUT sometimes it says your total is 4500 caches which includes 500 lab caches. This second wording has appeared recently.

When it is in the former, older, setting it doesn't show the ad lab badge, it shown number of cache type finds in a day as 6 and gives the stat number of belt points as 40 towards my caching belt.

If it is the second type I get the ad lab badge appear. Cache types found in a day is 7 and I get 45 points towards the belt. So, this makes quite a difference!

I like the second all-inclusive type of count - after all this is how many caches I have found. Why doesn't it stay that way??

An example:

be_fire has logged 231 different geocaches,

plus 230 lab caches, a total of 461 unique finds

the Seagnoid has logged 17401 different geocaches,

including 1018 lab caches

Why???

Perhaps because be_fire has chosen not to display lab caches? Then why is lab caches included?

@the Seagnoid  The difference between these two banners are paid membership or not paid membership IIRC. Why OP is switching between them I has no idea for.
