My daily counts have been the same for weeks now, despite restarting the software, the server hardware, and reloading configurations at least 5 times each.

Is this a known glitch, or is this operator error somehow?

Can you elaborate? Daily counts of what? Seen where?

The ctrl/dsts.ini file is what tracks Synchronet "daily statistics" and ctrl/csts.tab logs each dailys "cumulative statistics". Are those files getting updated?

All of the daily statistics on the start page have been stuck at the same numbers for over a month, is something wrong with my timed events?

I'm not familiar with the "start page" - can you be more specific? If you're expecting your own (the sysop) logins, etc. to be included in statistics, they won't, as SCFG->System->Toggle Options->Include Sysop in Statistics is "No" by default.

Can you answer the question I asked in my first reply?

Follow up: Apparently they don't exist, do I just make the files and see if they get updated?

Sure. Or do you have any dsts.* file in the ctrl directory at all?

I deleted and remade both files, it seems to work now.
Thanks!

I'm confused: you said the files don't exist, so what exactly did you delete? --
