Whispers only temporarily bump topics

Related to Bump topics for whispers on staff topic lists

When someone whispers on a post, it does get bumped, but only until page refresh, when it returns to the last public time.

Example of a post with a whisper in Latest:

And after page refresh, it’s gone:

Since I use Latest as my main method for browsing, I’ve taken to using open in new tab for all posts, to avoid a refresh that will drop the whispers. But it seems to me that if the bump works once, it’s probably a bug that it doesn’t stay there? I’m not sure why you’d bump it once and then intentionally drop it.

Yeah, I never was a fan of this inconsistent behavior. Will be fixed by

As far as I’m concerned, that’s the opposite of a solution for me – I always want to see new whispers bump the topics. Even if someone has said something privately, they’ve still said something and I want to know about it.

You will be if you’re tracking/watching the topic.

But to the greater audience, nothing happened on that topic, so why would it be bumped?

I thought it was only getting bumped for people who could see the whisper.

I’m often not tracking/watching the topic.
