OK I've had mintcoin for some time now and I've got the latest wallet 1.8, and 92k mint. The last time I saw any minting was 7th April. I know I have relatively low amount of coin but shouldn't I see more minting than that?

Well for starts, the 7th of April was only 19 days ago so you've not reached the minimum of 20 days coin age yet. Secondly, with only 92K Mint, it may take a bit more than 20 days for you to find a block. As long as you leave your wallet open and unlocked, you are going to get new coins, it may just take a bit longer than expected, but it will happen.

You misunderstand me, that was the last time I minted coins, I have had coins in my wallet since 10th March 2014. I had 3 minting transactions on 7th April. But nothing since that.

No, I did not misunderstand you, you said the last time you saw your wallet mint new coins was the 7th of April, I explained that it was only 19 days ago.

Now you tell me that you had three mintings on the 7th of April and none since. Those three mintings would have been for different sets of "coin age" of coins in your wallet, and seeing as they all happened on the same day, then you will have to wait at least 20 days from the 7th of April to be able to mint again. Once your wallet mints again, they will almost certainly be in three transactions just like before.

You have to also remember that minting is not guaranteed to happen "Exactly" on the 20th day, because your wallet is acting as a "Solo Mining Rig" and has to actually mine new blocks of coins, just the same as if you had a mining rig trying to find blocks of coins.

Another thing, is that it is very advisable, that once your coin age reaches the 20 day period, and you want to mint coins, leave your wallet open and unlocked until it does mint new coins. Don't just open it and see that it's not minted any and think something is wrong, allow it to do the work needed to mint coins.

OK perhaps I'm not understanding the minting process correctly then. I had an initial transaction on 10/3/14 and the had 3 minting transactions on 7/4/14, which now I've looked at it more closely only 1 was confirmed, 2 others have greyed out with question marks next to them. So having minted once after 20 days it usually take another 20 days to mint again? does the 90k coin that is already in the wallet not have a chance to continue minting because its already over 20 days old? Or is there usually a gap of 20 days between each minting. I'm sure I've seen pictures of wallets with minting every few days. Also I was sure I had read on http://www.mintcointalk.com/index.php/topic,239.0.html that as long as you open the wallet within 20 days minting should occur even without you having to permanently have the wallet open ( its not locked either). Currently I open it up every few days.. do I really need to just leave it open and running permanently to get it to mint?

i read it as follows : you had a successfull minting at 7/4/14 over your initial transaction of 10/3/14 (the minting transactions with question marks are most likely failed attempts to mint). The coinage of that particular transaction was then reset and you have to wait another 20 days (more or less) from date 7/4/14. This means that your wallet (if open and unlocked) will try to mint again one of these days as the coinage is now again approaching +20 days. Just leave it open for today and tomorrow and look at the incoming minting transactions and yr stake. With your low amount of coins there is a chance you will again see some failed mint transactions before you see one actually confirmed. Hope this clears it up. There is also a newer version of the wallet available that gives some clear indications if yr coins are old enough to mint and how much time it needs to mint .. its a couple post up and its from Kergekoin (trustwearthy) :
