On our forum, people have read as much as 10k-40k and it seems odd that they have read that much (me myself has read 32.7k) and I’m confused to what that means, does “read” mean the characters? Or the amount of posts if it is the amount of posts, there is something very wrong :joy:

I didn’t see any example of strangeness here, but I did find one example at SitePoint (need to be logged in to see it) On this page - Week, Read descending The SitePoint Forums there is Received Given Topics Replies Viewed Read Visits 0 0 0 1 7 25.2k 4 yet that members profile has SeenJun 2 an…

We have never created a 20’000 post topic, also how could we make the forum bot not lock PM’s at 500 posts? @Mittineague yes, but the strangeness for us is, that users are not always that active & we migrated from another forum, maybe that affects this?

I know when SitePoint imported a lot of old vBulletin content all members post counts were set to zero. I haven’t done an import of older topics and posts so I don’t know, but maybe a “rebake all” (I don’t know the proper command off-hand) would “pull in” the older posts and add them to the post co…

I had SkipGuy1 (née ScrollGuy1) use a topics replies columns “jump button” to go directly to the last post of a couple of never before entered 38 posts topics. His post count in the Users page went up 76 posts, his profile post count went up by 2 Chasing down the elusive posts read value was an ad…

I will be undergoing a test from mon-fri on our forums, they will be reading everything for a week.

[afbeelding] This is a glitch, no it has nothing to do with “needs approval” or anything.

The “posts read” should be under the “summary” tab. Mobile view doesn’t have that?

Mobile view does. But this user has an invalid time as to “last seen” since something was posted afterwards.

Are post read counts per user accurate?
