The PF forum displays the number of replies and likes differently across devices. Users report that mobile browsers show replies but not views, while the PF app on Android displays views. On laptops using Chrome, the number of replies and likes is visible, but views are missing. There is confusion about whether laptops are considered mobile devices, as the app experience differs significantly from the browser version. Overall, the inconsistency in displaying view counts across platforms is a key concern among users.

On my android phone with the PF app 5.3.33, I see views.

On my ipad with the mobile safari browser, and on my laptop with chrome browser, no views. I don't think laptops count as mobile,
 
No problem.:oldbiggrin:
