number of replies

[GreenPenguin]

Sorry if already answered - why, on the talk board, is the number of replies no longer accurate? One may say 2, then you go on it and it's 74 pages and 7650 replies!
Just a small thing but rather niggling.

I have not noticed a big differance like that, I have noticed it saying 1 or 2 then clicking and it being or 6 but that is because people have posted after your page loaded IYSWIM. Perhaps you are clicking on threads where lots of people post really fast?

Thanks Canute - here's an example. In 'last hour' - look at, for example, Word association - easter edition. It says "1 message. Latest 12 Apr 09, 7:43:39 AM". There are over 800 replies.
I suspect it's just how many in the last hour, but that's not the point.

It says 847 for me, both in chat and in active convos. I am on Classic MN, are you on new?

GreenPenguin, sorry to show up so late to reply to you but I think I may have your answer.

If you're looking in Last Hour or Last !5 mins, the number of posts figure is the number of posts posted in the last hour/last 15 minutes, rather than the number of posts in the entire thread.

Hope that helps

Thanks - yes, that's what I suspected - although Number of replies in the whole thread is much more relevant and useful. (in my humble opinion!).

How do I go back to classic mumsnet, as kingCanuteIAm suggests?

And I'm so sorry that you were answering me on easter night!!

thanks

If you go to customise at the top of the page you have to option to go back to classic. HTH

woo hoo!
thanks!

Er, before you get too excited, Green Penguin, I should warn you that the same thing happens in Classic.
