What is the contents of the dbtech_follow_postbit template? Is it what you posted above? If so try reverting that template.

<dl class="userinfo_extra">
	<dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_follow_total}: {vb:raw post.total_count}</dt>
	<dd>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_follow_total_following}: {vb:raw post.total_count}</dd>
</dl>

That's it.

[DragonByte Tech]

Try replacing the contents of that template with this:

<dl class="userinfo_extra">
    <dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_follow_total}</dt>
    <dd>{vb:raw post.total_count}</dd>
    <dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_follow_total_following}</dt>
    <dd>{vb:raw post.total_count2}</dd>
</dl>

Why it is showing up like that if the template is not customized is beyond me as it is not like that in the product xml.

I customized it to simply put both outputs in a single row. I realized it was the missing "2", which I've just added and it works now.

Thanks.

PS: it would be nice if they are linked to the user's follow page

[DragonByte Tech]

Ahhh ok that makes sense then. A more interactive postbit has been requested and is under consideration for future versions.

Since you think wrong, many have still vB3 in use.
