Ah I see what you’re saying. E.g. 10 new posts in one topic, and the Latest count (if a count was shown) would only be 1? The use case that I’m trying to address is when a user loads the forum with a single question in mind: “how many unread posts are there?” Some users wait until there is a certain amount of new stuff before catching up. They report frustration that this number is not available. New posts - which indicate reading time - may be more relevant than a changed-topic count. Any ideas on how to address this gratefully received. 😌 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/unread-indicators/45150)._
