Forum Stats Not Displaying Correctly?

So sometimes I like looking at the forum stats and all, and I was looking at them lately and saw this:

Are the stats glitchy at the moment? I know a lot of those numbers can't actually possibly be zero ^^;

Just figured I'd mention it in case no one had reported it yet, if it did happen to need some Veks fixxors and wasn't just a 'me' issue :-)

Also showing the same for me.

I'll get it shuffled to Veks.

Considering when the zeros start, I wonder if this is a consequence of the changes Veks made due to the bot attack.

I remember doing the Quizmaster stuff for the site anniversary in April (which was fun!), and the stats did display then. I couldn't have completed the quiz without that forum stat area.

I don't remember it looking wrong in April/May at least, but my memory is admittedly a bit unreliable, and I can't pinpoint the exact time I last looked at it after then because I tend to look at it more on impulse and wander back off to writing after that.

Thanks staffly people for pointing Veks at it! I know it's probably silly to be like "I wanna see the site stats" but I do like looking at them, it's really nice to be able to look at the history of the forums that way sometimes.

Yeah. I sortof assumed my fix would just work and didn't check the stats directly. I noticed immediately - the values are all stored as 16 bit integers. So when more than 65535 'people' are online at once, it dies.

So I fixed that pretty quickly... but my fix failed silently. It isn't generating any errors, anywhere. So I never noticed.

...because it is failing silently, this may take me a bit to fix. Apologies. : /
