Running 3.4.3 but notice now (it seems this issue goes back a few versions) that the accepted blocks field now shows the latest difficulty (x number of blocks found it seems) instead of total block count? Anyone got a fix for this?

Not sure what coin you're mining, but on the bitcoin network, cgminer now shows the number of "diff 1 shares" found for the accepted field.  So, if you're pool has a higher share difficulty, the counter will increase by whatever the difficulty of the associated job was each time a share is found.

That's not a bug.  If you really want the number of actual shares found (even though they are not as useful in a world that is moving towards variable difficulty mining), you can get them from the API.

Thanks for your response but this IS a bug. If you look again you will see I am solo mining. Should just be showing me accepted blocks NOT shares.

When solo mining, the job difficulty is just = the the network difficulty.  So a share = a block, and the counter is going to increment by the difficulty of each block found.  I still don't think that is a bug.  ckolivas can clarify, but I don't think there was an intention of a "block found counter".  You're in a somewhat unique situation, and if you need a block found counter, I would suggest using the API (in which shares = blocks, when solo mining).
