I'm way too popular (like count in notification menu off by a few thou')

From the Meta forums:

I think this may be the total like count for the topic? I will commence with the investigation for further details. I don’t see any other occurrences, immediately.

2468 isn’t a count - it’s the username of the user that liked your post (@twofoursixeight)

[Yuun (Sam)]

oh dang, sure is

I just thought that seems right at first, my ego got me again

My apologies, we’re good to close out here.

Since my username is 2468, and discourse shows likes by the username, this is why it did that. Discourse forums always uses the username to show likes.

I was confused by the same thing recently and also thought it was a bug!

If a like count is being shortened it will look like this btw.
