Love and War (FPS shooter and builder game in -QB64)

It is rather curious why 0 views is showing on this thread. I have viewed this a couple of times already.

That's some glitch in the forum software. We did an update from version X.whatever to X.whatever+1, and it broke the view counter on a couple of the threads. A patch repaired the problem for new threads, (or at least, I'd thought it'd fixed the issue), but those posts that were created under the old glitch still seem to be glitchy. The issue is something simple. I think, such as them being indexed via a signed long counter instead of an unsigned long counter, or some such, but that tosses the minimum count to -2,000,000 instead of 0, and just goofs everything up. Rather than trying to go hunt down the issue in the database and trying to tweak with any of that stuff manually, I figure if the view count is all that's glitching, it's best to just wait and either live with the glitch or let the forum developers fix it themselves. Who knows what mayhem might be unleashed if we go in and start custom tweaking the database files, and then the forum software does another update in the future and decides it doesn't like us setting bit 12 on the 27th byte in some random file in the database...

So, my apologies on the view count issue. It's a known bug in our forums, but it's one introduced by the forum software itself, so it's one I'm hoping they'll also find and correct themselves, without us having to manually go in and tweak anything and possibly corrupt our database if we sneeze and click the wrong thing at the wrong time and click something we shouldn't.
