The odd thing is that it seems like no matter how many users are in the conversation, it caps the users count at 24. Appears to be a bug, I cannot think of a statistical reason for it.

We want to know how many unique users are in a post. It is very important to know.

Yeah this is a bug, confirmed, I can confirm that, we should either hide this if its too expensive to calculate once you reach 24 or fix it.

It is happening cause the UI is simply counting frequent posters and that is maxed at 24

Looks good. I went through all of the listed posts. We have a bunch of big ones and they look correct.
