Looking at this 2nd chart, you might wonder why the SDK Forum has a negative thread count. The SAP Global Support Center, which takes part in moderating the forum, was doing maintenance in many SAP Business One forums in Q4. In the SDK Forum, many old unanswered threads were deleted. This also led to the decline in number of messages in the same forum (see also chart below).
