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:

[image] neil: includes posts that you can’t see (hidden, deleted) includes posts that have been moved in the topic they don’t belong to anymore, and in their new topic (double counting them) skipping to the end of topic counts all posts as read I fixed these issues recently (see here). So posts read counts should be accurate from now on.

Are post read counts per user accurate?
