The Humberside Fire and Rescue Service smoke detector thread went on and on and on, and just when you thought no more could be said on this topic, more was said. I played a part:-)

There were 117 posts in total to the thread so it has to be the winner.

I would like to put in one of my threads as a challenger here-stress posted on 3/8/04 ran until 20/8/04 and nearly 160 responses.
I do still have some hair left (see original thread) and I am now involved with some really positive work around stress in our organisation.

There've been longer ones. I recall this one for example:

Before we all go measuring the size of our threads, I hope everyone remembers that it it's not just the size, it the quality too! ;)

Toecap, "most viewed" counts for nought as the figure can easily be increased by repeated views of the thread from the same IP address. In simple terms, if you have absolutely nothing better to do you can keep pressing F5 on your keyboard and watch the "views" number increase and increase and increase, probably with no upper limit. Go on, try it and see. You know you want to. Yes you do!

However the IOSH webmaster could probably fix this relatively easily. Many page view counters only count one view from each IP address. Then we could accurately measure both size and the number of times it has been looked at. But how to measure quality?
