[Forum] Forum view counts for threads have stalled [Temporarly disabled]

[Angry_Panda]

I notice the counter for 'views' on threads seems to have stopped registering anything that's not a response at some point in August.

This thread was posted on Aug 11 (by my local date/time), and has 65 replies and 137 views showing in its post listing in my 'threads with your posts' list.

This thread was posted on Aug 12, and shows 25 replies and 26 views. It appears all threads posted on or after Aug 12 have a similar 'n, n+1' correlation between replies and views.

Here I thought my uploads were getting fewer than ten views.

Related to this, I think Forum Statistics aren't updating since 12th August as well

I'm too curious about that, since I was just about a month old inside the forums [since October]. How can that account being the latest joined member while we had so many new users here. Is the counting just stop or something? 🤔🤔

Perhaps... something mysterious and terrifying has happened on August 12th...

Hello, we performed fixes on the XenForo backed that seemed to fix this issue at least for now. I'll keep the thread open for a while in case the issue returns.

It was pointed out this morning that this has been a bit spotty in fixing things.

This thread started 11 Dec 2024 still shows n comments/n+1 views. Similarly, this thread from yesterday.

However, there are many other threads started in the same time frame that appear to be correct. (From Dec 13 2024; from Mar 20 2025.)

There doesn't seem to be any obvious logic to these; I tried posting in the one from Mar 20 above, and it didn't reset the count back to n+1.

Turns out we decided to disable the views count update system because it was causing major issues with other systems of the forum software. So view counts will be stalled until further notice.

Yikes - okay. Thanks!

This does not bode well for if view counts are ever added to MangaDex itself

It's a good thing the frontend and the forum have literally nothing in common when it comes to handling views, then. Don't try and force connections when you don't know how the site works.

I wasn't trying to force anything, I just think that the site devs might not want to add view counts if another view count feature somewhere else isn't working, which is why I said "bode well".
