View count on threads
 

How long has the counter for the views on each thread stopped counting? I noticed this the other day I was on a thread and saw that there were four guest and two members viewing. When I went back to the thread a different day the count was the same.

I first noticed it being out of comission on the 1st. I discussed it with LockDoc. Folks in upper management are aware of it.

There a few strange things going on lately. Like going from one page to another in a multi page thread I have to log in again for each page. Then there are all those wierd user names that appear I presume to be spammers. Owners and staff are busy taking care of such things.

A friend tried to register the other day and said he was blocked.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=804213

There’s the thread count, subscription notifications going to spam, and also older threads won’t reload in desktop view so I can’t view pictures easily. Not a major deal but kind of a nuisance.

foolish me, I read 'count on threads' and thought you were talking about counting threads on bolts, lol....

When you post wtb or fs threads its kind of frustrating not to see how many views you have. I am paying to have that service even it it's only 25 bucks.

Usually this thread count bug starts after a new plugin is added to site or an old one goes bad with not keeping up with upgrade. Might have luck fixing if you try turning off one plugin at a time and see if counter starts again. Also some forum plugins have an area in the admin that does a thread recount rebuild from database.

yep. I have 11k accounts to manually go through and approve. Therefor registration is closed until I can get caught up. If you know someone whom wants to register, get the info and shoot me a PM. I can assist if I know there is an issue.

if your subscriptions are going to spam, mark them as not spam and fix it?

I do agree that it is frustrating.. but you are paying to list items not get a count. That is only for vendors

Josh will be replying shortly, but no not really. You are right in some scenarios just not this one. The issue is time to fix it. Full time work, 12 plus hours of shutting the site down and getting it done. It will be done asap as said before.

I have a game plan in place to fix the thread.counter. I will make the time to do it very soon, it's a long 12+ hour process in rebuilding tables due to a database crash. The forum has to be off most the time while.doing so.also. working on getting everything ready for a upgrade to vb4 to have a more robust and newer tech ology friendly setup also. Due to my job and being one of the senior techs at my.job time off is hard to come.by lately.

Thanks, Josh

I guess if it's supposed to work it needs to be fixed. But I don't use it or miss it one bit. I never even considered using it to track views in a for sale thread. I check them regularly unless they get old. I only care about replies anyway. How many people look means nothing to me.

Liz/Josh, thanks for the explanation

Noticed this myself, although it does seem to be working still on some threads?
