A few days ago, the view count was still 8k, but today I found that it has been reset, and I have not changed any settings and styles

Sorry, this is a known bug with the filesystem driver. I'd recommend to use https://yhype.me service which using the database

Thank you for your reply. But I've seen the questions and tried yhype (it was also zeroed out)

Y Hype cannot be wiped out, let me check your user data and I'll return back.

Y HYPE designed the way that it's only increments counter on hits, that prevents counter resets. Its database does not connected with this project (GHPVC). GHPVC counter is just simple log file for the simplicity sake.

You've registered on Y HYPE and sure it has 0 views count (because it's new account), but I recommend to switch to it, because it's more stable storage.

So there is no way to restore the original count, is it? Well then, thanks for your work.

It is possible, but only manually by me from the console :(

I don't have a precise number, but last I saw it was at least 8.1k. It would be great if you could help to revise it back.

@AzeemIdrisi That's sad. This service is just proof of concept. I cannot afford to use the database for it because of a lot of fraud, and filesystem driver is bugged. I recommend you switch to https://yhype.me

Or I can review refactoring of the filesystem driver to solve this issue
