XF 1.2 Hidden message or wrong stats

[abdfahim]

Hi,

I have a massive attack of spammers in my website with thousands of spam messages. So, I have permanently deleted all the messages to clean the forum. Right now I have 145 messages counted from user contribution (members/notable members).

However, in my forum home page, the forum statistics block is showing 7,659 messages !!

I am just wondering is there any hidden message I am missing?

Thanks

It'll update soon from a cron task.

How did you delete the threads and posts?

How did you delete the threads and posts?

Major portion using Spam cleaner option (with permanent post delete) and rest by selecting from forum page and using delete button.

As posted earlier, the counts are updated via a routine cron task.
