1. The time is set to UK time but it isn't correct? can i reset the time correctly?

2.When i click "new posts" the thread and view count are all wrong - it will say "0" replies even when it has some?

1. That's for users to set individually.

2. Somewhere in Options there's a setting for whether views are updated immediately or on a schedule.

It's exactly where you would expect to find it!

Settings > Options > Server Settings and Optimization Options > Update Thread Views Immediately

But .......

"Option to update thread views immediately, or once an hour. If you have a large forum, you will probably want to disable immediate updates, since they are quite server intensive."

Not sure what the problem is. You might look at Maintenance > Update Counters.

If you've recently upgraded there are some maintenance steps you need to do.

What maintenance steps? I just upgraded and everything is fine with no maintenance steps.

His forum was upgraded with a patch version, not a full upgrade, by the way.

When I upgraded from vB3.8.x to vB4.1.5 there were instructions about rebuilding counters and things like that.

Yes, then it would be advisable. But he upgraded within the same major version so that wouldn't apply to him.
