Re: Discrepancies in the number of replies

Do you have any examples? I must say I hardly ever look at the numbers, but it could be because of caching (if that happens at all), or just plain timing - i.e. new messages being posted between the time you request the frontpage and the request of the section page or vice-versa.

Well, for example in this moment I see as the first post in The Monastery Gates this article: DBI and PP not behaving..., from Seekers of Perl Wisdom and I see the indication "4 replies" and "3 replies" in the respective "locations". UPDATE: I'm not offended, but most definitely I'm puzzled to see posts like this getting downvoted, especially I can't see why, taking into account that I'm answering to a specific cmt. A reply/explanation would have been welcome...	[reply]

That's interesting, because I see "2 replies" for both locations. (and the node itself has 3 replies in 2 threads) update: AFAIK, the "# of replies" usually refers to the number of direct replies (i.e. threads) update 2: changing my user settings to "show count of all replies" does indeed show the incorrect count on the monastery gates.

Yep, I've noticed this problem before. I'm sure there was a discussion on it some time ago, and whoever made the report was more or less dismissed.	[reply]
