Thread views not updating

[Jake Bunce]

Is the forum updating view counters immediately?

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Update Thread Views Immediately

Try setting it to update immediately.

If it isn't set to update immediately then maybe there is a problem with the scheduled task. Sometimes the tasks don't run for a variety of reasons. Check the task in your:

Admin CP -> Scheduled Tasks -> Scheduled Task Manager -> Thread Views

If the task has been running then the "Next Time" should be within the next hour. If the "Next Time" is in the past then it hasn't been running. In that case you need to make sure your footer template contains this code:

<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$cronimage
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->

You can run the task manually by clicking "Run Now", and you can prompt each task to reset the "Next Time" by editing and saving each task.

I should also add that under the next time column in schedule tasks it says Yesterday (time)....

Thats not right is it? next time means the next time the task will run?

My thread views do not update unelss I set them to update instantly. If I set the Cron to run it doesn't.

1. I changed the time interval to 10 min from 1 hour to see if it helped
2. I re-uploaded all the standard .php files in the cron folder
3. I disabled and enabled
4. I ran repair/optimize tables

None of these things helped made a difference.

I think some other cron jobs might not be running but I cannot be sure.

Any ideas?
