Comment glitch?

Ok, so I'm working in 3 windows at once: Photoshop, FAC, and my e-mail. My e-mail pops up with a message saying one of my pictures has recieved a new comment. I click on the link in the e-mail, and no comment. The comment count says 2, but only one is showing up on my compie. the pic is here http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-649562.html

Is this a glitch? Is anyone else noticing something like this? Or did the commenter just delete their comment for some reason and the count didn't register it?

If anyone could answer this, it would be very helpful!

Oh, and yes, I have tried the url to show full comments.

Someone commented then deleted their comment, most likely. The comment count stays the same but the deleted comment does not stay.

Ok, thanks. I didn't know the count didn't register that.

We may work on this counter problem in the future.

There is one deleted-comment by Tala777. That's why the counter says "2".

We should probably fix that sometime... no harm in decrementing the # comments stat when removing a comment.

Problem with that is that I believe Denis uses a DB row count instead of and actual stored number.
Making it work, since we flag and not delete, would require counting comments flagged and subtracting from comments not flagged, according to owner_id's and that bit.

(Excuse me, not exactly the right place to say this. Confused

Feel free to delete it.)

# comments already is an actual stored number.

If I'm doing it, makes my job easier Smile

Comment count is a stored number because counting them is too slow/resource intensive.

someday I'll rewrite the counter code to work right with deleted ones. I did it already for something else -- picture counts I think.
