Hi, usually, when you reply to a post (rather than the whole thread), the replied to post will get a collapsible UI element that shows the replies right under the post: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/4/a42a3a30c0321aeabaf5af4998d4f9cb5e72c35c.png) In addition to that, the response post shows an indicator that this post is a reply to another post and links back to it: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/1/114354984ea72ab70f6b3e5387c2603379ee1a28.png) For some reason, both of this has disappeared from my own forum. Does this only trigger under specific circumstances? Or should it be visible all the time? Or did I turn off some setting? Thanks ---

If there is a single reply (as in, exactly one and 1 reply only) and that reply is directly underneath the post it is replying to, metadata is suppressed. ---

Oh. Ok. That explains it. Thank you! ---

As you can see in this topic it would be super super noisy if the metadata was not suppressed for single replies directly underneath. ---
