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…

Nope, it’s just a bunch of deleted posts. Not a bug.

Okay - if that’s the case on that topic, please check a topic with whispers (or whisper here then post a test reply?) because you will have the same effect. Unfortunately this bug has been noticed on my forums by critical/paranoid members who somehow imagine something terrible going on :frowning:

How do you envision this working? Post numbers are assigned when the post is created, (they get the next available number) and cannot be changed after the fact, as this would break references/links to a specific post. Whispers are just a post in the topic that has a permanent “Staff Only” flag. Li…

The post # should match the post number computed in the scroll bar and thus ‘skip’ the whispers for non-mods. Linking to whisper posts could still be supported, but perhaps using a slightly different URL format e.g. /topicid/w-postid where the ‘w’ prefix denotes the postid is a whisper. [immagi…

[immagine] Falco: If your community don’t like that whispers can be used, turning those off with the setting enable whispers may help. That still wouldn’t change the fact that the counts would be off if there were deleted posts in the topic. They’d still be wary/paranoid over the discrepancy……

Community issues aside, I still think it should be simple enough to fix the most obvious mismatch in counts: [image]

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…

Sembra un sacco di lavoro per zero benefici tangibili.

Se la tua comunità non gradisce che i messaggi privati possano essere utilizzati, disattivarli con l’impostazione enable whispers potrebbe aiutare.
