Yes, the post counts are not correct. Something randomly happened to them earlier when I came online to check the forum. A lot of them were a LOT lower than they should have been, mine was 4! Post count isn't important to a forum but I would like to sort the problem out nonetheless. I did a resync of post counts and now the post count has gone very high. I think all of our spam posts were counted. I have checked the Admin log but it doesn't specify anything gone wrong. Nothing has been deleted (except the spam thread) but I don't see why that could do that.

I am not sure if this can be fixed but we'll see what happens eh? It's very confusing and I'm very tired since it's quite late. I really hope that this can be fixed but it's nothing major, just a confusion. We'll just ignore these post counts for now and I'll try and do something about it.

Cheers.

Edit: I think I've fixed it now BUT some people's posts might be a bit lower than they were still but not dramatically. THANK GOODNESS! Let's hope it's all good now lol.

If the post that were made on the Spam Area were added previously to the users' post count and, if most of them were made on that thread, once you delete them the system won't count those post anymore since they no longer exist. Therefore, the post count was not reset, only the deleted post were subtracted.

But still that shouldn't be such a big influence to the users' original post count, taking you as an example, your post count was already big even without the posts in the spam area.

Which reminds me, do we have an archive forum to keep all unused and old threads?

Instead of deleting such threads, just create an archive forum, close it and then move all unused and old threads there.

Also don't forget to lock both the threads and the archive forums ;)

The whole thing doesn't make any sense because the posts in the Spam thread did not add to the person's post count in the first place. It should have just stayed the same. Anyway, it seems to be fixed now so hopefully it will stay that way. It should not have deducted any posts from anybody. Some member's post counts looked the same so I'm clueless as to what happened. Maybe it was just glitch.

Yes we do have an archive section, right down the bottom of the forum you should see it.
