Hi, the info box, giving several infos like the number of views, which is displayed under the first post of a topic, is not always displayed on my site. Is there a rule which determines when it’s displayed ? Thanks.

We call this the Topic Map.

It only shows if the topic has at least one reply on regular topics.

const showTopicMap =
  showPMMap ||
  (post.post_number === 1 &&
    topic.archetype === "regular" &&
    topic.posts_count > 1);

It’s always displayed on PM topics

const showPMMap =
