and is there a way to get rid of them?

I have the popular threads statistic showing on my site, and it has these crazy numbers that dont seem to mean anything to me. Even if they did mean something to me, I still wouldnt want them there. I see them on your forum too Chops. Is there anyway to remove these? I have looked everywhere in my admin section, and can't seem to find a way to remove them.

Here is an example...(I have bolded the numbers so that you know exactly what I am talking about.

Head to "Edit Account settings" and uncheck the box for "View Thread Scores"

Thanks! I never thought to even look there. I guess that is a user specific setting then?

Yep, and it defaults to being "Off" which means at some point, you had to manually check that box.

The numbers are the "Thread Scores" which is just a numeric representation of the "popularity" of the thread. The formula is actually semi-complicated, taking into account each post individually weighted on it's age and summing the total "value" of the thread. The number that shows is just the "value" of it, so that you can see exactly how popular a thread is, according to the site.
