Funny... I've just seen a thread with 6 replies and 0 views. Is that normal? :D

Well, must be a bug in the software that is revealed under very rare circumstances (perhaps a server desynchronization).

I show 10 replies now and 85 views. That may have been just a quirk where you hit the item when a thread was being updated... or something odd.

I think it happened only in the User Control Panel view. I recall correct display in the Search Forums view. Going back to User Control Panel was still showing incorrectly. Unfortunatelly, today the problem doesn't appear anymore. Just thought you guys might be interested to know.
Best regards,

I appreciate the report (and the screen shot). If it happens a second time to anyone, then we will see if we can better identify what happened. (First time I can call something a fluke, second time we have to take it seriously ;) )
Brad!
(I took it seriously this time too, it is just that without being able to duplicate it, there is just too much that it could be)

Ive noticed this long time before, but I though that its a feature, not a bug. I thought that 'replies' do not count as 'views'. I guess that in mentioned topic someone viewed the thread, and answered it. Is that really so bothering?

I've seen the problem again (pls c attachment) and it was only in the User Control Panel view. A few refreshes later the numbers become normal. I can only assume was after a new reply in the thread in question. Sorry I can't tell you more about the behaviour, but I hope it will be enough to catch the bug.
@Hobson: Doesn't bother me at all... just thought the feedback would be appreciated. If they want and they can fix the bug, great, if not... that's ok too

Problem is very easy to reproduce, just find any thread with 0 views and answer it, it will 'score' one answer, but still 0 views... And indeed, it happens only at Control Pannel.

I'm guessing that the control panel updates less frequently than posts/views happen. It looks like we've got enough information to go on, so I'll see if I can get someone to talk a look and confirm that this is just a timing issue with jobs versus an actual bug.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
Brad!
