And, just for the record, I motion again for abolishing the postcount (and the ratings for that matter) since I fail to see their utility in generating useful posts
If there are posts disappearing, however, that is an issue that needs to be dealt with. |

I noticed that if you go into your own profile and click the "find all posts by this user" it'll say the full amount of posts you had...like mine is 440+ there while it says 340+ on the threads and profile itself...but with that it seems it only shows the 500 most recent..and no more then 500
So with that in mind it doesn't seem the posts are being deleted... |

Post counts are usually counted by their existance...
There are 2 possible options: 1. GHDpro made an "invisible" board sektion ( Invisible for Normal users and maybe mods ) where all the old stuff from general chat ( and other forums too maybe, dunno exactly ) are put, either trough a bbs cleanup settin ( in many forums you can say that threads that are older then ### are moved into ### ), or per hand. And that invisible board is set on "dont coun't posts" ( and that again is an option that is mostly available in forums like this one~ ). Result: Old threads are moved there and arn't counted anymore, but they are still there so you can see it in the profile... just not counted. Option 2: They are being deleted from the boards, but a "clone" is also noted in the Database of the forum. That means it isn't counted anymore, but still exists in the database. So it could be possible, and i'm still guessing that it has something to do with the forum's cleanup system |

I'm at a total loss as to how this massive post count decrease occured.
If the posts would have been really gone, then as Superchop already noticed, you wouldn't be able to find them if you clicked the "Search" link. I've now run the Update Post Counts option in the Admin Control Panel of vBulletin, and eventhough it comes with this warning: Quote:
As ato mentioned however, post counts are not really that important. If we find that you think they are (and are posting all kinds of crap to increase your postcount) we may ban you. So consider it a nice statistic, but nothing else! |
