Sorted!

Well, I missed Lapin's bounce (haha) but it would appear that what it's doing is showing the number of recent posts rather than the total number of posts. You could call it a feature in fact, though it wasn't intentional as far as I am aware. As such, we'll fix it, but as a lower priority than a few of the other things that aren't working quite right yet.

Ooh I spotted that too. There was one about AQ on special needs, and the thrusting young mum thing

By littlelapin on Fri 03-Oct-08 08:13:49

OK, I just bumped this one and it says 1 post in my active convos

By YetMoreTech on Thu 02-Oct-08 22:59:15 (from MNHQ)

Could you give us an example of it happening at the moment? The one in the OP on this thread looked correct when I looked at it this afternoon.

Thanks.

Anything older is doing it. I keep thinking people have started threads with identical titles to old ones hmm

By DeJaVous on Thu 02-Oct-08 15:38:26

Randomly enough this thread is doing it too. Is a recent one.

By DeJaVous on Thu 02-Oct-08 15:34:57

Good work lapin, I managed to miss the important bit, again grin

By littlelapin on Thu 02-Oct-08 15:34:00

I guess it once indexes posts after a certain time?

exDH is obviously a stalker, have reported him to MNHQ

By dooneygirl on Thu 02-Oct-08 15:32:38

The only threads I've seen that exDH person on, he appears to be stalking a poster on. I don't think it is anything wrong with the site, just a poster who can't get on with his life, apparently.

By zippitippitoes on Thu 02-Oct-08 15:29:11

yes lots of the show a few posts in the active convos and then lots wen you click

By JackieNo on Thu 02-Oct-08 15:27:36

I often find that things just show what's been added recently (just that day?), so I click on what looks like a small thread, and it turns out to be quite large.

There's been other strange happenings similar to this <don't want to say too much>

By DeJaVous on Thu 02-Oct-08 15:14:33

This one, it's from 2006 and someone has just resurrected it.

'tis strange, don't you think?

<needs to get a life>

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

, type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
