basic mumsnet question!

[coldtea]

Hi , i'm quite new here & maybe a bit dense but could someone just tell me what the difference is between 'active conversations' & threads in the 'last hour'. Thanks!!

active conversations is that last 50 threads with messages on. Last hour seems to have 100 (don't know whether that's how many there's been or whether the figure is set to 100 automatically)

Active Conversations shows you the titles of the last 50 threads posted on.

Last Hour, shows you the actual posts made in the last 60 minutes.

AC displays the last 50 conversations, last hour displays however many have been active in the past hour!

Active conversations are the last 50 messages, put in order of most recent first.
Last hour is in order of subjects, all messages posted within last hour, so often nearer 80 or 90 messages.

Glad we all agree then!

Thankyou , sorry for sounding stupid but sometimes you just have to ask

Blimey, there were no responses to this when I started typing!

Glad we all agree then

Makes a nice change LMAO
