Present Perfect / Past Simple

Good Time of Day!      Well, I just read the list of members online and found this:      -------    In the past 3 days, the most popular thread for  everyone  has    been "Sample of formal letter writing". The post with the most    views is "Live chat room". The most  replies  were  made  to    "GUESS MY WORD"    -------      The first two sentences are in a present tense while the  last    one uses Past Simple. What's the reason?    Thanks in advance,  Anton

Perhaps the writer just didn't want to use the same tense three times. I'm sure someone could figure out a reason for each one, but they all seem interchangeable to me.
