• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Hi, noticing when you post a thread it says replies: 0, views:1. After this they go together, views is always more than replies by 1. Replies is truly replies where as view is more like posts(mostly the replies) counting the starting post.

So in most forums, probably here too before the upgrade, if I make a post that ten people look at, but only one replies to it, it says Replies:1, views:11 (Poster counts I think, or it's 10). New system it would say Replies:1, Views:2. While not a big deal, as-is this inaccurate in name, and only useful in case someone forgets what number comes next i.e. how to count or add 1. :D
 
I was just going to post this same thing then saw yours. So this is basically a useless post but I'm just agreeing with you...
...
Yeah its a useless post
 
I recall seeing earlier mention that updating real-time views had been disabled due to excessive server load.

//edit: here's the linkage. Lethal mentions a once-per-hour setting, but it seems they've opted for (or once-per-hour is actually) not at all.

(The CP reference is to the Admin panel, incidentally.
