Just noticed that my today's acive topics number seemed a little low for the day. It read 113 at 11:20pm tonite when we usually are a little closer to 200 new topics a day.

So, I went thru all forums and counted the number of threads with a posting date of today...

I came up with 183.

Now, I assume that today's active topics works as it did in UBB5 and lists all the topics from a given day.

If so, what gives here? Why would there be such a huge discrepency??

Can anyone help with this?? This wouldn't be that huge a deal if it didn't use it to gauge what traffic is like on the boards on a day to day basis... I know I'm not insane.

Would clearing the Misc cache effect the number?

Yes, clearing the Misc cache would clear the cached copy of the Active Topics page, which may result in a new number... However, posting should also do this.

So, yesterday Charles, when we were working on the gramelin list not refreshing you had me clear the misc cache file.

Would that reset the number of posts for the day and start it at zero? Is that what you are saying?

I don't understand how the number could show one thing and the actual active topics in a day could be another?

I think you might have missed my real question.... or I'm not understanding what you are telling me.

Ok, so the cached copy gets cleared but the number of posts in a given day should equal the number of today's active topics correct? What I am saying is that it did not yesterday...

No, the cache clearing should have updated the number it displayed...

So... do I have a problem? Seems that way. I'll check again late tonite to see the discrepency. It's a joy counting 180 topics btw <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

There is something wrong with my boards. Either way, it bears looking into.

First, let me say, I have not touched the control panel all day.

Earlier today, I noted that the amount of posts in the today's active topic thread was 93. It's now 10:13pm and I just looked again... Total Active Topics: 31

So, in essence, I somehow LOST 60 topics.

I hope you have some suggestions Charles <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm at a loss at how this could be

I'm calling this a bug (and moving the topic appropriately)

I hate to be the finder of two bugs <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Looking forward to the fix though asap. It's hard for me to judge traffic without this counting correctly.

At 10:23pm tonite, my todays topics was reset and now reports "Total Active Topics: 19". It was in the mid 100's earlier. This is the 2nd time today the number has been reset.

Are we any closer to figuring out what is doing this and fixing it?

Quite frustrating.

So it's not just me and I'm not going insane. I was at 150+ topics around 12 noon today. Just looked a minute ago. I'm at 11.

Hoping the next rev addresses this? Any chance of that happening charles?

I just looked at the release note and nothing was mentioned...

No, this is a much deeper issue than I originally suspected. It will be addressed in 6.2.

Holy cow... you mean I have to live with this bug for that long? This is pretty huge in my eyes.

What is the estimated release for 6.2?

This is not good... not good indeed.

6.2 is currently in private beta testing (i.e. I have a copy, as do a handful of others around here, but it isn't available for public consumption yet)

I've heard rumours about sometime in December, but I don't remember if that was before or after 6.1 got pushed back to the time it did.. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I do remember hearing mention of a target of 45-ish days between 6.1 release and 6.2 public beta..

As you may have gathered, however, nothing firm..
