A recent plugin update (unfortunately I can’t pinpoint it because a colleague ran the updates and didn’t record which ones they were), has killed this fix. Currently the situation is that new topics update the freshness on the front page, but replies don’t. The fix is still there in the theme, but it doesn’t seem to be being triggered. Any ideas?
Thanks Mike. In the meantime I found the discussion settings and increased the number. The settings do say “Email me whenever … anyone posts a comment” etc. but I guess the key word in that is “me”, and I assume this all goes to the admin email address. Which is someone else, on the other side of the world 🙂
