Suggestion for fixing the inaccurate link counter value

Further to what I thought was a bug but is seemingly by design, the topic link counter stops at 50:

Even if there are thousands of links in the topic :pensive_face:

And:

With this in mind, rather than showing an inaccurate number to the end user could we simply display a + symbol if there are more than 50 links in a topic?

For example, this:

Would simply become 50+ like so:

This way the user is not being told inaccurate information :thinking:

@lindsey do you feel this is pr-welcome? Seems like a small and easy change (we would over select by 1 and then use that information to decide if we render 50 or 50+)

Agreed, added a pr-welcome to add the + for accuracy.

Hey, I have a question: From what I have seen, all the other components, like views and likes, have the full number. For the sake of design consistency, we should either add the plus to the other cases or add the full number to the link count.

Is there a process for getting this PR merged @Arkshine ? :thinking:

An approved PR is not necessarily merged immediately. There might be some internal concern or discussion about it. Since it’s low priority, let’s wait!
