Users can create a topic by posting a link in the title - the link then shows in the post as well as next to or near the topic title in other areas. Do clicks on featured links other than in the post count towards to total click count?

If not, can this be added?

I think if people are clicking links relating to the first post and the link in the first post has a count, it would be nice if this reflects _all_ clicks resulting from that initial post 🙂

Looks like clicks don’t count towards the total 😢

Clicked from a test account:

Think it would be great if they did..
