The issue was resolved for quite a while, but has resurfaced. It’s affecting one topic so far, that I know of, the JSON response from `latest.json` shows the following for the affected topic:

I gathered that the last time this happened, it was because the count would be off when a lot of replies to a post were deleted or moved, but since this is a relatively new topic I don’t think that’s the case here.

Incidentally, the issue seemed to resolve itself last time as I unignored the user I had ignored, and has now resurfaced very shortly after I ignored a user. It might be a coincidence, but I have a feeling ignoring users and post counts not matching up are connected somehow. Also interestingly, the user in question does not have any activity in the affected thread.
