You have to understand: There is NO user listed. No avatar, no name, no link to a profile.

From a coding perspective, I often find it helpful to look at the actual page output when trying to isolate a bug. Below is a snippet from the backend statistics listing. I'll show the first three Top Posters results. The first and third are valid entries; but look at the second one. I can see now that Kunena is trying to create a statistic for phantom, "Guest" users. Have a look:
Code:
<tbody> <tr> <th>#</th> <th>Username</th> <th>&nbsp;</th> <th>Posts</th> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td> <a class="kuser-user" href="/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=profile&userid=13" title="View ATom's Profile" rel="nofollow">ATom</a> </td> <td> <img class="kstats-bar" src=".../media/kunena/images/bar.png" alt="" height="15" width="100%" /> </td> <td>541</td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td><span class="kuser-guest"></span><td> <td> <img class="kstats-bar" src=".../media/kunena/images/bar.png" alt="" height="15" width="81%" /> </td> <td>438</td> </tr> <tr> <td>3</td> <td> <a class="kuser-user" href="/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=profile&userid=33" title="View e-mote's Profile" rel="nofollow">e-mote</a> </td> <td> <img class="kstats-bar" src=".../media/kunena/images/bar.png" alt="" height="15" width="74%" /> </td> <td>399</td> </tr>

Maybe what's happening is that Kunena is accumulating post counts every time a user account is deleted. I think this for two reasons:

(1) If a user really had 438 posts, their account would not get deleted. We only delete accounts from inactive members--people who post 0, 1 or 2 messages and then disappear.

(2) Guests are not permitted to post, so technically a "Guest" should always have zero posts.

Please also check if it's possible for a "banned" user to create this kind of problem. I haven't checked if there's a banned member with exactly 438 posts, but it's another possible situation to investigate.

What is the nature of the problem, exactly? Maybe I can apply a temporary bandage until a permanent solution is available.

When you delete an user, there are sill entries created by this user in polls or thankyou. I had started making a fix for that here : github.com/xillibit/Kunena/commit/9a3091...a3e325371045cd875ee8

But where are the phantom post counts coming from?

I know in my case that those numbers cannot be sums of old polls or thank yous, because deleted users are not active enough to participate in polls or give/receive thanks.

Or to put it more simply, how can the Top Posters report be listing data from polls or Thank You? :unsure:
