Come on where the feck are my posts going?

[Cheese]

9 posts have gone this time? I made 10k posts 4 months ago with this account and every time I sign back in with it more have gone. I make them up again and they vanish again.

I have even taken to the extraordinary tactic of posting useful replies in threads and yet they still disappear.

I sense a conspiracy. Where's thedave?;)

[S!X]

I dont care.

You gotta keep posting, old ones are deleted all the time, so you gotta put some new ones every once and a while.

[tesco]

All corrupt threads were removed today.
That could be related.

Also i saw an option in admincp that goes through the database and counts every one of a users post to make sure their post count is right...i wonder what yours would be at then. :lol:

And you are...?

What is a "corrupt thread"?

And what do you mean by the latter part? Does it count through a person's posts and make sure they're post-count-worthy? If that's the case someone like LP is going to end up on 0.:(

Your input is appreciated but please don't answer questions you don't know the answers to. It saves me on valuable scrolling time.

From the move to vbulletin a few thousand threads got corrupted (when you view them there's no posts, or last poster, or any other info...it's basically just a title). Those were finally fixed.


As for teh counting, normally the post count is just increased every time a post is made, and decreased when one is taken away.
But that might not be set right, so teh recount counts all posts in the db with your name as the poster and changes your post count to that.

Cheers Ross, I understand the first bit. The second bit is still confusing. Does that mean my post count would go down because some of my posts are no longer in the db or would it go up because the count would then include my lounge posts?

Please use correct spelling when attempting to insult me so that my kid siblings don't laugh at you. Thanks.

The instructions in admincp say it would go down.

Is that because of the reason I theorized or some other heinous reason?

[tesco]

Hmm

Update Post Counts
This will recalculate all of your user's post counts based on their CURRENT posts in the database. Do not run this if you have pruned posts, manually changed post counts, or imported from another forum package and you wish to maintain your users' current counts. Your members' post counts will PROBABLY decrease so only run this if you believe you really need to! Once they decrease you can not bring them back up without restoring your database or manually editing each user. You have been warned!

My guess is that any posts that might not have been subtracted from your post count for whatever reason (like if a post was deleted and it never decreased post count).

One that accepts bribes, I would imagine.



Run the update, rossco. Go on. You know it'll be a laugh once people start noticing.

Cheers Ross. Does this bit: "or imported from another forum package" mean we'd all lose posts from the old forum?

Anyhow that doesn't seem a healthy thing to do. I'll make my 9 posts up again.:shifty:

Maybe. :ohmy:

But actually i think they mean like transferring all users from one board to another but leaving the threads behind. :ermm:

You've lost 9 posts just in the last couple of hours. :unsure: :ohmy:

I did that when I moved The Moderation to a paid for board. In an effort to keep everyone's post counts I manually inputted their post count on the new board. Took me about 3 hours.:huh:

You get the point. Did you get off on being an asshole to me or where you just trying to show off? A little kindness goes along way. If you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all ;)

I thought you had a girlfriend.

Doesn'r seem like it. :ermm:

it's the isreali government deleting anything that might seem critical of them

You're the fantasist not me. Making shit up on the internet to impress people is not cool. Just be thankful you can afford internet access on your minimum wage job and maybe one day you'll meet that special man and move out of your mother's basement.

Until then no-one wants to hear about your fantasy life.

[bigboab]

I thought they stopped stitching people up with threads years ago. Staying with the old method might suture way of thinking Ross'.:blink:

Too warm for a coat.:)

I was thinking about thumbnailing that pic (not a euphemism) but decided to go for the full impact (also not a euphemism).
