Hey there!
I’m accessing certain user profile and the likes received number there is totally different to what is shown when I go to admin’s view of that profile and scroll down to the stats section.
Here are the numbers:

One of them is within a moving time window.

It’s not. Both of them are all-time stats at least that’s what the UI communicates

Yep, in doing some more checking I am also finding other odditeties.
I checked a newer user on a site I have admin rights.
The user joined 30 days ago.
On their public profile - https://\/u/\/summary - it shows 
On the admin page - https://\/admin/users/\/\ - it shows
Since the user has only been active on one topic and has several post I checked all of the post. They have not given a like or received a like.
I did not look at any personal messages.

Isn’t this because public profile is just public topics and admin counts likes in PMs ?

I guess that’s not a question to mee as I haven’t developed that feature 😃 Maybe. But it’s another time we experience data discrepancies because of either some lack of proper UX and communication from the UI or something else.
It would be great @Falco if you can confirm that for sure so we can be 100% set on that. Thanks!

The stats that you see on the user’s summary page are taken from the `user_stats` table. The `likes_given`, `likes_received`, `post_count` and `topic_count` fields in that table all refer to activity that happens in regular topics - activity from PMs is excluded from the results. For reference, see [discourse/app/models/user\_action.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/user_action.rb#L265).
The stats that you see on a user’s admin page include counts from PMs, so you can expect the results for `likes_given`, `likes_received`, `post_count` and `topic_count` to be different in the two places.

If the user completed the New User Tutorial, they will have given and received 1 like in a PM. Those likes will show up on the user’s admin page, but they will not be displayed on the user’s Summary page because they occured in a PM. You can also expect the Posts Created count to be higher on a user’s admin page than they are on their Summary page if the user has responded to the tutorial.
