There is no counter of clicks next to each link in posts in my forum. Should I somehow turn this on?

UPDATE: Ok, it seems that only clicks of another users are counted, that’s why I see none of them.

We only count clicks from other users, otherwise people would just click a bunch of times on their links to have them show up higher in the topic summary 😉
