Odd, that thread which was just moved to Detritus ("calculation,density for EX...?") shows as "Replies: -1".

If it doesn't show up for others I can take a pic.

Ha, ha. Yeah - me too. It's just a shame that

"about thioredoxin"
"Mechanism of Permanganate/oxalate reaction"

show as having -1 replies. Before I saw them, I though it maybe somebody having a laugh (which they still may) But it's not quite as amusing as if only the "calculation,density for EX...?" post had it.

Nice spotting 12AX7...

Weird, I see it as just having 0 replies.

I saw it at -1 a few hours ago, currently it is at 0 however.

Sometimes the forum loses track of replies and/or edits and I have to hit the "fix post count" or "fix thread totals" button. That's what happened here, and why the count was formerly -1 but is now 0. I do find it grimly amusing that the forum developers couldn't be bothered to find/fix the source of miscounts, but added a button to fix it after the fact.

Code:
/*fixes weird arithmetic bug*/ if (two + two == total && total == 5) total = 4;
