We have a fairly new installation with only a couple dozen posts, but our inline click counters are not appearing. I have not modified any of the CSS at all, but wasn’t sure if they only show up after a certain base number has been reached? Or if there’s a setting that I’m missing?

I’m having the same issue. Using Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Default install. Any ideas?  
Thanks  
Nick

Let’s see if link counters are working here. [Click this link?](http://example.com)

Yes they seem to be working OK.

Clearly I meant on my own 2 Discourse installs 😁 … They are both OOB v1.9.0.beta4 +89. Are there any settings I’m missing?

@NickB I think I realized what was going on here not too long after I posted, but never came back to amend my note: the link counter is intelligent enough to not track when you click your own links. The link gets counts when other users click on it.

(@codinghorror and team have been smart enough to protect us from our most narcissistic selves. 😄 )

Can you test that particular scenario on your installation?
