When a discussion board is created with the 'Post first' feature enabled, deleting a post with replies does not let students with no posts see the message "Post a response to see discussion activity". Instead, the student sees the post deleted with the message "This response has been deleted by xxxx".
Steps to Repeat:
  1. Log into Blackboard Learn Ultra Experience as an administrator
  2. Create a course in Ultra view and enroll 3 students
  3. Go to Discussion > "+" > Add discussion
  4. Give the discussion a name an place any topic
  5. Click on Discussion Settings > under 'Details & Information' enable the 'Post First' option > Save
  6. As student 1 place any comments
  7. As student 2 post any comments and then reply to the comment from student 1
  8. As student 1 delete your post without deleting the replies > You will see that posts shows as 'This response has been deleted by student 1'
  9. Access as Student 3 in the discussion board



Observed Behavior: 
Student 3 sees the message: 'This response has been deleted by student 1'. 


Expected Behavior:
 Student 3 sees the message: 'Post a response to see discussion activity'.
