This happens in such isolated incidents, that I wonder if it's even possible to fix -- maybe it's just random?

Anyway, I noticed that sometimes the number of replies a post gets DOES NOT equate to the number shown. For example, with that one post removed in DM with a -1 beside it. And, recently in Dark, one of my posts ("Sometimes I'd like to give up") has 11 replies, yet the program only says 10.

Strange.

Can you provide a link to the one in Dark, Mike? Or to any others you find? The more examples I can look at, the more likely I can find the problem.

No problem. Here's the one for dark:
/pip/Forum46/HTML/002313.html

You'll have to click back out from there to Dark 3 (on the tree top right), and you'll notice it only says 10.

And for privacy's sake, I won't include the link from the Deputy Moderator's Forum. But if you click into it and select show topics for last five days, you will notice that one post has -1 replies by it.

What Nan meant to say is that I gave it a sunburn, and then we tried to give it a cool bath to ease it's pain, and then it shrunk...

see?

Ron, it's doing it again.
/pip/Forum70/HTML/003888.html

(for now anyway, it says there's 3 replies when just perusing the Open 21 list. But when I open the post, there's actually 4)

Ah ha! Even the timestamp reads as if there were only three posts. Hmm...

Well, at least it seems to be a self-correcting problem. By the time I arrived, it had five posts - and was showing five posts in the forum list display.

I'll keep my eye on it ...
