After moving a forum thread from one forum to another, the number of page reads for that thread now says "18446744073709551614 reads" (it said "3 reads" before I moved it). Much as I'd love to belive my site was getting that much traffic, I fear this is an error!

The range of an unsigned BIGINT is 0 to 18446744073709551615.
So, no surprises what's happening here.

If it can be replicated, and the devel module switched on, it should be easy to spot the SQL that decrements the field in question.

Are you, by any chance, using the statistics filtering module? If so, see http://drupal.org/node/45402

Hi there,

Many thanks for your replies. Yes, I am using the statistics_filtering module. I'll try applying the patch in the issue you linked to.

Thanks,
Jack

Good work! I've applied the one line patch and that seems to have stopped the problem. Many thanks.
