Kind of a small issue, but I just noticed that the post number on the post doesn’t agree with the post number on the right side scroll slider. In the example below, I’m looking at the last post in the thread. The disagreement appears to be due to hidden posts, but shows this way for regular users. S…

Maybe I’m not being clear. It doesn’t make sense (to the average user) that there are a total of 64 posts in the thread, but the one they’re looking at is #68. We know it’s because there are hidden posts. But because they have no clue about the hidden posts, it is confusing them.

[이미지] Mittineague: The numbers in the timeline scroller are “nth visible post numbers”, not post id numbers Okay, then my solution #2 could be restated: “In the timeline scroller, display the Nth post number, including invisible posts in N.”

This is actually correct. One is the absolute post number, the other is the relative post count in the live topic.
