Yeah, possibly. That would explain why my index says no likes, but my test thread had four of them - but not in the first post.
What was the idea behind this design choice? For me (and Ruth) it's very confusing to see: "This thread has no likes" but when you enter it there are 5.
And: What about mark a topic as hot or very hot depending on the number of likes? So a thread with 10 likes would be marked as hot, but the index only counts 2 likes (for the first post)?

It means that "likes" given to replys are never counted to be displayed in the index?
What is about the "Hot Topics", if you choose the "likes" for them? Do the all need to get - for example - 20 likes on the first post in its thread?

As far as I know it's the way all the "likes" work: the likes of the "topic" are those given to the first message.
And it sort of make sense, let's say you open a topic with a message "I like chocolate" and 10 people gives a like, then within the answers someone writes "I hate chocolate" and this message receives 5 likes. It's not really correct to say the "topic" has received 15 likes, because only 10 people liked the "subject" of the topic, while 5 liked the opposite, but that was just a reply to the topic.
