forum counters

[andrewjs18]

is there a task to rebuild the forum counters? I keep running into an issue with a large thread that has like 131 pages on my forum. sometimes the forum counters aren't updated and it'll actually list the thread as having 132 pages when it really only has 131 and if you click 'last' it'll just send you to the 1st page.

Run the recount & rebuild, that should fix it.

yeah, but I don't want to constantly have to run it to fix it.

You can create a task to run the task every x minutes or hours.

I do have 1 set up.

correct me if I'm wrong, but the thread views task should rebuild the forum counters so my issue doesn't occur, correct? how much load does it generally put on a forum?

I've got it set for:
every 15min
every hour
every day of the month
every day during the week
every month


I don't think it's working properly. how can I test this?

To test find a thread where the counter is bugged, enable your task, wait for 15 minutes and see if it's work. I don't think it will put a lot of stress on the server, probably minimal.

ok, it's not working.

I have a thread on my forum that has 133 pages. if you click 'last' it says it has 134 pages and ends up taking you back to the 1st page. I first saw this issue at 4:11pm today and it's not 5:25pm and it wasn't fixed.
