Something else I’ve noticed in the new forum, there is no download count for uploaded files. Is this because the feature is simply not supported, or could it be implemented?
Personally I’ve always used it as a way of gauging interest in software I’ve created and uploaded, and I can then judge if I should improve the software. It’s also a weird incentive to create more software.
Pete,
I am also missing this download counter.
But there are other features too …
… User CVH has posted zero topics for example.
My posts is a page with about 13*12 + a few more (160 or so)
The page ends with “You have not created any topics yet.”
This summary is only about 98% wrong seen that it should be near the 6000 posts or so.
I think that counters near the categories on the main forum page are wrong too.
At present there are presumed to be 8 new topics … !?
Regards,
CVH
I noted that as well CVH.
Hopefully Andrew will be able to fix the counter issue like he has fixed the editing of older posts
Andrew, is a download counter something that could be enabled ?
Unfortunately, there is no such setting.
Alternatively, you could host the files externally on a service with a counter and link to them from the forum to keep track.
Thanks for the reply Andrew. I’ll look into your suggestion.
For anyone who is looking into hosting files externally, I’ve managed to do it via Github, it’s not straightforward, but at least you do get a download count.
