Recently the Frequent Posters section in the topic map under the first post of every thread hasn’t been displaying the correct information. Threads with thousands of posts are displaying the most frequent posters to have at most a handful of posts in the thread, and the list does not necessarily include the users actually with the most posts.
Here we have a thread with 27k replies, and it is showing the most frequent posters to have only one reply, while some users actually have several thousands on their own.
If you click on the users you clearly see that the numbers are wrong, as the number on the filtering button still displays the correct number.
I checked with the ones who run the forums and they claim they don’t make any alterations to the core and insist that it is a Discourse bug and not isolated to our community.
Oh, I didn’t consider how those numbers would look to outsiders. They are unrelated to the problem as they represent our levels on WaniKani, the kanji-learning website to which the community pertains.
Previously the numbers did display properly in the thousands, above the number for our levels.
