Hello! I noticed an odd thing on a forum I am a TL3 recently. In a private category I can see, the number shows that 13 topics were created in the past week. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/5/f/25f712558de1e6fea24f2e2b0b4e70245be11531.png) Do note I deleted the category name/info so I don’t leak anything I shouldn’t as it’s a private category. The names are the only thing I changed in the Chrome inspect tool. When I opened this category, however, there are only 2 topics created in the last month. “Pinned Topic” and “Topic #3” were not created in the last month, but had a reply to them. None in the past week. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/4/e/9/4e97cdef2a2f16c6568f756ce71a73e36c6bb896.jpeg) There are other sub-categories in “Private Category” that I do not have access to that may have had topics created in the past week. Does that counter next to the category include topics in sub-categories you cannot see? Again note that those are not the category/topic names I showed in the screenshots. I am just redacting them via the Chrome Inspect Tool so I don’t leak anything I shouldn’t see. If this is a bug, let me know and I can move it!
