Normally, we see reply, view, user, likes, and link count at the bottom of the original post, but occasionally this info won’t appear. While I assume that could mean no one has visited the topic, in this particular case, there are no replies, but I can see several links within the post have been clicked more than once, which leads me to believe that some users have viewed the topic.
Any ideas?
Could you illustrate this with a screenshot or two?
Certainly!
Normally, I see something like this at the bottom of every original post in a topic:
For the topic in question (and I’ve seen this on a few others), the info at the bottom of the original post doesn’t appear:
Ah, AFAIK that only slides into view below the original post once there has been participation in a topic.
Your screenshot where it’s missing has one hidden reply. Is it a flagged post?

Thanks!
No, the hidden post (on both screenshots) is just where I made the topic listed.
Does that mean users viewing the topic and clicking links doesn’t count as participation in the topic?
The element you’re talking about is the topic map.
It’s not really a topic if nobody responds, is it? The name seems pretty appropriate, a map with only one point isn’t much use 
Got it. Thanks for your help!
I understand your logic regarding what constitutes a topic, however, there’s still value in users visiting/reading content in a forum even if they don’t respond. For that reason, it’s helpful for us to see these metrics for every topic.
Is replying to the topic the only way to trigger the topic map? Are there any hacky ways I can make that happen for topics with no replies?
No, there must be at least one reply to see the topic map.
亲爱的 @codinghorror、@Stephen 以及整个 Discourse 团队：
我注意到 Show topic-map without a reply 所讨论的功能请求与本文主题中提出的请求基本一致。我们所希望的，实际上是 Removing topic summary underneath first post 所述功能的反向实现。虽然略有不同，但我看到你们前几天已经通过 Topic-map-summary only shows the likes of the first post 对该功能进行了调整。
让我向你们讲述我们的故事。
我们在 Developing Grafana Worldmap NG - Benutzerschnittstelle / User interface / API - Hiveeyes 有一个相当受欢迎的主题，它长期以来一直是我们的“工作台主题”；同时，我们还创建了一个姊妹主题 https://community.panodata.org/t/grafana-map-panel/121，作为对前者的总结与汇总。
虽然我们理解你们上述的评论，但我们认为，即使像上文提到的后者主题那样没有任何回复或其他互动，仍然能够看到主题地图/摘要小部件，这将是非常棒的功能。
我理解“回复数”、“用户数”和“点赞数”等指标可能仅显示为零，但让所有访客都能看到“浏览量”指标以及“热门链接”部分，对我们来说非常有价值。
因此，我恳请你们考虑将主题地图显示作为一个可选功能，或许可以通过特定的配置开关来控制，即使该主题没有任何回复也能显示。
感谢倾听，保持这份热情！
此致
敬礼，
Andreas
