Re: "Incorrect number of comments shown on main page"
The comment count shown in the feed is precomputed and stored in the database to improve performance. I think there is at least one situation where it is not properly updated, but haven't tracked it down.
When a new comment is added, the count will be refeshed.

Ah, there was a draft comment in the thread that was mistakenly being included in the count. Fixed now.
