When the Topic Summary contains links to specific posts, it’s helpful to click on the links for more detail. On [https://meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org), when you click, the summary window remains open, which is great. But on my site and [https://discuss.ai.google.dev](https://discuss.ai.google.dev), clicking on a link dismisses the summary window, which is cumbersome. What’s the secret to make it stay open?

Can you explain what you mean by the topic summary window? I assumed you mean the modal that pops up when you click the summarise button, but on your site that is moving as expected.

We had a bug where it would close on click if the post was on another “page”, but I believe we fixed that. Did you try updating your site ?

I’ll use your screenshot as an example.
On meta, if I click on Monalika’s comment, it would navigate to that comment, and the “Topic summary” modal would stay open, so I could then click on Shubham’s comment, then afirstenberg’s, etc., so I could easily browse the most important posts.
On my site, and at [https://discuss.ai.google.dev/](https://discuss.ai.google.dev/), if I click on Monalika’s comment, it would navigate to that comment, and the “Topic summary” modal would close.
If you can’t reproduce that, it may be related to a lot of errors in my console- 429 too many requests, related to rsvp.js and getting user badges. They happen when I click the links. Here are just the first few:

Yes, I did that today.

Ah right – I thought you were referring to the Google site, not another one. What version are you running?

Oh I see what this is, this happens on long topics.
If the “section” of the topic is not currently loaded then we shut the summary down on click.
Repro is:
1. Have a topic with 30 posts
2. Go to post 30 direct from home page
3. Show summary
4. Click on a link that goes to post #1
5. Summary closes
Not 100% sure how to sort this out… maybe @keegan has some ideas.

Does that also explain the 429 errors getting the user badges, or is that a separate issue?

That means you are using the _cursed_ theme component “Post Badges”.

> It’s so much easier with the URL! Your problem is that you are using the theme-component [Post Badges](https://meta.discourse.org/t/post-badges/114722). It’s awful for performance, so please remove it ASAP. Don’t forget to re-enable all you disabled during this journey and thanks for persisting.
@david recently changed it to make it perform well, but you need to update Discourse to latest to get it.

Yeah, this is a regression of the new design. We reported it internally back in August, but looks like no one was assigned. Will prioritize it.

This has now been resolved by @awesomerobot 🎉

Testing on [this topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/printer-friendly-css/30899/23) shows that it works
