FYI. If you have 2 new replies in 1 private topic, it will show 2.
I reported the problem as Ian was pm'ing me back and forth.
so it was 1 topic 1 reply = 2 ?
IMO this number should show unread private Topics.
Not the total of replies unread? if ive understood your comments above ?
So in my example 1 private topic 1 reply = 1
or an example of another situation.
2 private topics 2 replies in each = 2 on the hover over.
my thoughts.
