How do I see the answer to a question that has been "closed after the last reply"? Sometimes replies aren't anywhere in the discussion thread!?

I don’t know if I’m missing something obvious but in many questions asked in this forum, after they are “solved and closed” I cannot see the reply, as in the image attached… what’s going on?

Hello @Isaac_SR! Welcome in!

There actually wasn’t a reply to this post that you’re referencing.’

The last reply was actually listed as being by Airtable in January 2020, and the forums recognize the closed topic portion at the bottom to technically be a reply.

I was a bit confused at first as well when I saw it but then realized what the behavior was.

WOW ok I see.

This wording creates massive confusion. Please Airtable management:

  1. Leave the reply count at 0
  2. Word it as: “This topic was automatically closed. Replies are no longer allowed”
