Why thread view counts are insanely incorrect and you are not fixing ? I wonder that.

How do you know they're incorrect?

They aren't broken. MyBB has a lot of bots that crawl it.

Why did you not search before posting? I wonder that.

Been asked hundreds of times before.

Recount and rebuild.

Recounting won't do anything to the views, it can't recount how many views a thread has had.

Yes, the views here are high because of bots/search engines/RSS readers etc that crawl the threads. There's not a lot we can do about it and it's not that big a deal.

The only possible way to fix this is to ban all those bots. And that wouldn't be nice. Or for that matter smart.
