How can that be right?

OK, they imported lots of users from the old forums, so ignore that, but surely more that 30% of threads have been replied to?

10,559 replies to  35,067 threads? According to Unanswered Threads, there are only 557 threads that haven't received a reply.....

 

You're thinking too much, again, Jeff...

Sorry.....

(I was hoping you might correct my maths) 

Theoretically speaking,that could also indicate that over 12,000 users havent uttered a word......doesn't it ? 

(There have been - as of the time this thread was created, 45,626 posts.  Agreed?  And, there were 35,067 threads.  Right?  And each thread took one post to start...the "first post in the thread" being a post.  OK?

So...If there are 35,067 threads, and each thread took one post to start, then that leaves 10,559 posts available to post an answer in each thread.  Correct? 

So, by that logic, with one post to start a thread, and a minimum of one post to answer a thread, there should be a minimum of 35,067-10,559, or 24,508 posts that are still awaiting the first answer.  True?  )

I think it's a labeling issue.  Total posts are number of posts + number of threads.  Number of posts are number of answers within a thread.  Number of threads is probably correct.

Maybe.
