What is difference between post reply and topic reply

Immediate replies above/below have that reply indicators hidden by default. The idea there is that they’re close enough to each other that the extra context isn’t helpful.

There are admin settings called suppress reply directly below and suppress reply directly above that can be disabled so they always appear.

Thanks for pointing that out. By default it should be disabled so that replies do show up otherwise it is too confusing for newcomers.
