Some posts have been deleted from [this topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/must-approve-users-on-an-existing-forum/39233)

The # of replies has been updated to reflect this, however the information in the users column in the topic list has not.

As I recall this is time / timer based, e.g. that info is not updated dynamically. Also there have been bugs in that area since the launch of Discourse in Feb 2013, where the topic avatars somehow lag behind.
