For example, the [28th post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-discourse-in-the-aws-ec2-instances-ubuntu-server-lts/112406/34) and [30th post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-discourse-in-the-aws-ec2-instances-ubuntu-server-lts/112406/36) both reply to @Stephen 's post(not the same one). But only 28th post display "reply to @Stephen " sign. So I copied the post without the sign, deleted it and reply again, then everything go right.

We have noticed the same thing on our installation. It appears to be normal behavior, when a user replies to the immediately preceding post.
