Recently I opened a thread which in the ālatestā summary said it had 2 commentsā Upon opening there were in fact 2 comments but both of them had multiple comments below each with a smaller font that have trouble reading. Iāve already set the reading font in the profile setting larger but it does not seem to affect those sub comments. At any rate if them not being counted in the comment total in a thread is intentional seeing just 2 in the summary and actually having a dozen, the number certainly conveys if dead or lively.
PS Reading these on a 7" mobile is challenging, lots of finger pinching and spreading.
It may be, even with these issues, that this plugin + Discourse is the best option for OSM āhelpā content going forward, given that OSQA is something of a burning platform (sorry, Nokia 9100 users )
I think given the problems with OSQA, weāre better off keeping the voting plugin even with its flaws. OSQA has no translation and is unmaintained with known issues.
