When I click the "?" button, it says the following:
There are (at most) 2 people ahead of you in line.
Total holds: 32
Your holds position: #29 on 8 copies

Personally, I prefer this way. I think it was misleading when it only said "at most 2 people ahead of you in line". I think they were trying to say that you shouldn't have to wait longer than the amount of time in your libraries holds (e.g., if they allow 21 days, then being 3rd in line means you should be able to get the book no later than about 2 months from now).
Regardless that the wait *time* doesn't change, I'd rather watch the book count decrease (28, 27, 26, 25, etc.). I found it frustrating to log in and seeing the number not change day after day after day.
