Right now I have this topic where i’m shown 155 unread replies, but in the replies column i can only see 3.
Not sure how this should be changed in discourse, but those 2 numbers are very different and 155 is misleading since all the replies were deleted. Would it make sense to not show the “number of deleted replies” when counting the “number of unread replies” ?
We have had this reported a few times before, it is fiendishly hard to fix.
If a large number of posts are deleted then unread count is artificially incredibly high. We could I guess do a client fix that caps numbers but it just replaces imperfect with more imperfect.
Problem with counting deleted replies is that there is no cheap way of do it. You may have read 17 of the 32 deleted replies.
I’m talking out of my ass here, but would it make sense to not count any deletion?
Basically ignore anything that’s deleted, and
count normally all the new replies.
Saying this since really, there’s nothing new for me to read there, and that’s why in on a forum (to read/reply = discuss).
Or maybe that add artificial deleted count could be set to 1 (hard cap), so that I’m notified there’s something changed?
Thing is on the topic list we do not count anything. We know the user read up to post number 5 and that post number 20 is the last post
We have to avoid counting, counting is expensive it means we have to visit every post
我正在撰写一份关于此的新 UX 报告，因为它经常让我感到困惑：
只是又想了想，低语会产生同样的效果吗？
有些主题有很多已删除的回复
很多帖子是通过常规论坛维护自动删除的（例如：“此主题的所有回复将在 x 时间后删除”），因为 Meta 自 Discourse 成立之初就一直存在。
这完全说得通，只是看到一个主题据称有 600 多个未读回复，但查看该主题时却只有一个，这让人感到困惑。
