This would imply some kind of database inconsistency. You should rebuild threads using the control panel, checking the box to rebuild position and post counters.

Hello team,
I'm not sure if this is the right place. We are currently seeing an increase in reports of a similar error in the server logs. I have the following environment:

• XenForo Version: 2.3.7
• PHP Version: 8.3.26
• Xenforo Add-ons: Enhanced Search 2.3.5, XenForo Media Gallery 2.3.5, XenForo Resource Manager 2.3.5
• Some third-party add-ons

All personal data has been replaced with XXXXXXXX.
