Over the past day or so I have noticed that the number of posts registered to some members has declined! One person on my buddy list was at 52 a day or so ago, and now is at 47. (5 posts were mysteriously lost). I have noticed inconsistencies with my numbers as well. Has anyone else experienced similar problems??
I'm at a loss to explain it.

I said that before we get rid of "old news" here just like any other good medium.

You see, the site has to be backed up ever so often ( in case the server crashes ) and the Webmaster told me last weekend it took him forever to backup the database.

We get an average of 420 new posts a day as it is, and. with the exception of reviews, hardly anyone reads posts that are 2+ months old.


My advice would be to forget keeping track of the number of posts ( unless it's fairly recent posts that you are missing ).

So it's not the number of posts the guy made, it's the number of posts still online then?
That's right. It's the number of posts remaining.


Infact, I got to get rid of quite a few more posts. Those are the instructions from the Sever Mgr. It's taking him toomuch time to save the database and it's a lot of work for the server as well.

Sorry, I didn't realize that deleting posts from the board affected the number of posts registered to each user. My mistake.

That's only true if he has posts in the affected (ie: deleted)threads, otherwise no. My advice is forget about keeping track of the post count. That would be like trying to hit a moving target.

It only affects it under the averag, as far as total it is on every post you do.It is under the address and only increases, never decreases.Maybe that will be a little better depending on what you are using the totals for.

Spud, that's not entirely correct. As Fred pointed out, If some of your posts happen to be deleted since they are part of an old thread, your post count will go down.

That was my reason for starting this thread initially, since I didn't know why on one day I'd have "X" amount of posts listed under my "location" field, and the next day I'd have considerably less.

See Fred's posts - they will explain the logistics.

Other threads that get deleted nearly immediately are those that are of a harassing nature.
So that's how your number went down.
