Explain that the number is useful

Title text (tooltip/hovertext) shows on unrelated parts of the page
At the top of the posts list, the total number of posts is shown on the left. Hovering the mouse pointer over this number shows the title text. This is currently set to be the same number as is already showing, so perhaps it would be more useful to set it to some additional information instead.

The title text also appears if the mouse pointer is hovered over any point at that height on the page, all the way over to the sorting order buttons on the right. The area in which the title text can be triggered seems to stop at the right hand side of the grey line that passes underneath the number of posts and the sorting buttons.

The sorting buttons each have their own title text which overrides this behaviour, but the Subscribe button does not, so hovering over the Subscribe button shows a number rather than a meaningful message.

The images below show the various places that hovering the mouse pointer leads to the same title text.
