First of all I must say I tried searching the board for "+figure +numbering" but the system said it ignored "figure"... so not much luck...
My problem is that, I have figures numbered like "Figure 2.5" (which is what I want), but when I refer to them the text shows "In Figure 2.3.1 the ..."
What is wrong with \ref ???
I would like everything (figs, tables, equations, etc) to be numbered as <chapter>.<counter> (which is what it seems to happen now) and be referenced in the same way.
Thank you.

Figure referencing not matching figure numbering
Your information is almost useless. In such cases you should get used to providing a minimal working example (MWE) which reproduces the undesired behaviour. Otherwise is nearly impossible to help.

Re: Figure referencing not matching figure numbering
THANK YOU sommerfee! 
I was using label before caption
BTW, is there any advantage in having label inside caption? (instead of being after)
