Similar to some bugs before, if you look at the post count given in the linking box of a post, it gives the post #. However, this doesn’t match the numbers displayed in the navigation bar on the right. I think this topic may demonstrate the problem: Migrate a phpBB3 forum to Discourse - #580 by ge…

[Bild] TallTrees: critical/paranoid members who somehow imagine something terrible going on right, but this is not a software problem with Discourse, just reassure your users that it’s normal and carry on. There is 0.0% chance we will be changing this behavior.

My last post was requesting just the ‘cosmetic’ fixup of the post # mismatching the count, as shown in the screen shot - you said all the other stuff was a lot of work for little benefit, so I dropped it.

This is a problem that has stuck around for years, and a few attempts have been made to improve it and this is where we ended up. I’m of the opinion that it’s a combination of necessary transparency and not-going-to-be-noticed. (Yes, that’s a partial contradiction.) We aren’t willing to compromise…

[Bild] riking: aren’t willing to compromise on the position of displaying posts in order (such as how large platforms like Twitter are handling the deleted posts issue). Would you be willing to expand or link to reference on what twitter is doing? I’m not a tweeter, so have no reference to co…

Here’s the pithy version :blush: check that date https://twitter.com/dril/status/760997832237129729 By constantly shuffling the order that replies are shown, deleted or unwanted replies can be conveniently buried with no easy way for you to prove this is happening. Additionally, incendiary respon…

Ahh… the curated order thing. I hadn’t thought of the effect that this would have on records of deleted posts, etc.

[Bild] riking: I’m of the opinion that it’s a combination of necessary transparency and not-going-to-be-noticed. Yep - I totally agree with that. That’s why I think it would be better if the two ‘post numbers’ shown on the same screen agree (screen shot is in my post above), even if the post…

[Bild] TallTrees: Given the scroller on the page knows the ‘visible’ number of each post, I’m not sure why this would be hard to re-use on the post dialog, but then I’ve not looked at the code either! I also don’t know how the code handle it, but my guess is that the total count can be done f…

[Bild] lucasbasquerotto: It could also be made with a background process that updates the numeration of the posts whenever a new post is created or deleted (and having a wrong numeration in the meantime). Another thing that would have to be done in the background would be to change the URLs w…

[Bild] lucasbasquerotto: On the other hand, showing each post actual number (ignoring whispers and deleted posts) could cause a huge penalty in the performance to have a near zero benefit. I think that’s unlikely. As you scroll down a page, the actual visible post number is already shown in …

I can’t test with this topic because the numbers are correct, but if the current number in the timeline is correct and can be associated with the post, then that would require only a small change at the front-end. So, yeah, that could be achieved without penalties (as long as only the post number ch…

Ja – ich stimme dem völlig zu.

Deswegen finde ich es besser, wenn die beiden auf demselben Bildschirm angezeigten „Beitragsnummern
