This was on `Discourse 3.0.5`

The following message is counted as a reply, which is not right.

`"This topic was automatically closed 45 days after the last reply. New replies are no longer allowed."`

It makes tracking replies to a topic difficult in topic listing page, where `"This topic has 1 reply"` could mean 1 actual reply from a user or there was no reply to the topic and it was automatically closed after topic expiry period.

Cheers!

Hi @sidt 👋 welcome to Meta 🙂

You should up date to the latest `3.2.0.beta1-dev` or `3.1.0` Stable versions.

Those are the small posts and I usually just delete them manually. Deleting doesn’t unlock them and corrects the count. I am pretty sure you can run a rails rake task to delete them all. But back up first and be careful if you do it this way.

Hello and welcome @sidt 🙂

I think this is currently working as intended so can’t truly be classed as a #Contribute > Bug. I’ve slipped it over to #Contribute > UX for consideration. 👍
