    While I'm hanging around waiting for a reply in the MSN Problems thread:

    The # in the upper right corner seems always to be more than the posts detailed - is it me?

    Regards - Charles

    Hi Charles

    The number of new posts under 'Welcome, charlesvar' at the head of the page includes multiple posts to a particular thread, so if there are 10 new posts, but only 6 new posts are listed, there is more than one new post in some of the threads.

    Thanks Pete,

    Didn't think of the difference between post and threads. Obvious once pointed out.

    Regards - Charles

    Yes, it fooled me too awhile back - until the penny dropped :)

    I too had wondered about this. Thanks for the explanation.
    It really is a great feature.
