A count of all posts whose titles get displayed when you click on a parent title, whether or not they're direct replies to it or replies to a reply, should be shown in addition to the "x replies" count. The number of direct replies are only useful to the extent that they indicate the number of total replies, but I don't mind if they're kept. The total number could be called something like &lt;i&gt;Total sub-posts&lt;/i&gt; (or nodes), or &lt;i&gt;Total posts below&lt;/i&gt;, or rename &lt;i&gt;replies&lt;/i&gt; to &lt;i&gt;Direct replies&lt;/i&gt;, and add a &lt;i&gt;Total replies&lt;/i&gt; category. 

&lt;p&gt;Also, the number of replies should be shown where ever a title is shown, including Newest Nodes and the page you get when you click a node title or navigate to a node in some other way.</field>
