Old design - Here it says 4 comments on an X question.
The old design is better. Why it is changed?
I got 4 comments and 2 answers but only the latest is shown.
noredirect' parameter use in those link?

Those are two different posts. If you won't get inbox item for each, you'll never know you got a comment or an answer. No bug here and the example you posted is totally not relevant. – Shadow Wizard is Vaccinating Sep 26 '20 at 12:12

In the old design, it says the total No. of comments for a post but now it is not. – Smart Manoj Sep 26 '20 at 12:44

1Well in high traffic posts, it caused the post author to get hundreds of notifications, which are just noise and cluttering the inbox. If you want to see all the comments and replies in one place, there's "responses" tab in the user profile for that. Inbox should be for things that require your immediate attention. – Shadow Wizard is Vaccinating Sep 26 '20 at 12:50

What old design? I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Got a screenshot? – Shadow Wizard is Vaccinating Oct 25 '20 at 14:14
I believe this is by design. You'll usually need to read the comments in the context of the post (and perhaps older comments as well), so it doesn't really matter how many new comments there are. Note that the number of new comments (or other events) will be correctly shown in the red badge.
The noredirect parameter is there to prevent situations where you're somehow not logged in on the target site and the question is closed as a duplicate; without the parameter, you would automatically be forwarded to the 'original' question, i.e. the duplicate 'target'. That would be very confusing.

If so, the link should be for the first comment. As there is no meaning in reading in reverse order – Smart Manoj Sep 26 '20 at 12:02
