Forum bugs and feature request

Something I have noticed is when you hover over someone's icon or name, it shows the number of posts someone has made, but that number is almost always incorrect. It seems someone's first post counts as 2 posts. See user here for latest example. 1 post but profile shows 2 posts. I often look at people's previous posts for context on the problem so this bug makes me go into someone's profile looking for previous posts when there aren't any. 

Another weird glitch I just noticed now while adding the above hyperlink is if you don't wait a second or two after adding the link, it will put the link where you have moved your cursor to and not the word you highlighted. Also, there seems to be some kind of screening of the code in the hyperlinks. For example, I copied and pasted a phone number, and it included the code to click to call the number. Wouldn't let me post with the link in the post. Gave me a error. Hade to copy and then paste as plain text.

Last, I would like to request to add a feature to expend all the posts in a conversation so you don't have to keep clicking "Show more" over and over again with long posts.

Thank you for the response, but did you mark your post as the solution? Shouldn't the OP only have that power? I don't really care in this case, but it seems to be a pattern. Could you explain? I am removing the mark.

Thank you for the suggestions. Although I cannot promise these changes will be implemented, I can promise you that they are viewed and considered.

OP should be the one to mark a reply as the solution, but I'd like to see a change made to prevent OP from marking their own post as the solution.

I was talking to LatitiaS. It seems she marked her own comment as the solution. I would like to know why they did that and why the system is even allowed for anyone other then the OP to mark a post as a solution. Can you ask them to comment here?

Do you remember how the previous version of the forums had a points system that awarded 2 points for an original post and 1 point for a reply?  Maybe this one does something like that with posts count.

Second the motion for expand all.  Discussions with a lot of replies can be hard to follow.  Finding a new reply shouldn't require that much effort.  I probably didn't notice it when I posted the discussion of proposed changes when this version first began to be used, or I would have included it.  I wonder how many of those requests were ever implemented.   Proposed Revisions to Forums Platform | Cox Community
