Is this a new feature??

Perhaps I just haven't noticed it before but i'm on the desktop site and this little number has appeared.

Is it new? Is there a reason for it? I understand showing the number of replies on active, but it seems a bit odd to display it on the actual thread. If i'm on a thread I can see if it has a lot of posts, or not. Confused

It shows up on my phone as well (don’t use the app).

Has it always been there? Or did it just appear today?

Hello @Whinge while the number has been there for a while now, we've just added 'replies' to it. We're hoping MNers find it useful!

ah perhaps that's why i've noticed it as it's bigger than just a number. Can I ask in what way you think it will be helpful?

Like I said in my frst post I understand on the main pages as you might not want to click on a long thread if you're short of time. But once you're on the thread you can see how busy it is. Confused

I hope this isn't coming across as moaning as i'm not annoyed by it, i'm just trying to work out the reasons behind it being added to the thread. Smile

Also if you could delete the spammy reply by @theodoreevans that would be great. I'd hate for someone to click on a dogdy link.

Hey @Whinge no worries on the moaning score - this is Site Stuff after all where moaning is positively encouraged. Wink

The change is just to make it clear what the number refers to.
