Posts not counted in specific forum..

[DiMoNd21]

I would like to ask if there is a way to disable post counting in specific forum..??

Thank you!

Admin CP --- > Forum & Moderators --- > Forum Manger ---> Select Edit Forum Next to the Forum you want to disable the post Count.

Go Down to Enable/Disable Features (Bottom of the Page)

Select No, on the "Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts".

Hope that Helps

But won't that hurt the fact I want to still keep rankings?

I don't understand what you mean, I mean Post Counts can either be counted in a particular forum or not.

I assume the ranking you are referring to is the way in which it promotes the user for Post Counts. Now if a user posts in the particular forum where you have turned off the Post Count, it will be as if he never posted anything [statistic wise], however if he posts elsewhere he will still generate the post count as usual.

I think that explains it properly to you, ket me know if I misunderstood you though.

Nope I haven't misunderstood at all. This is what I want.......

No post counts showing at all. However I do use a ranking system and want that to continue though due to the postings made. I have a feeling this might be a hard mod.

So you want to Hide the Post Count of each user?

If so my method would be to simply comment it out in the likes of the Profile, Postbit and the Members List. I mean that would be the easiest solution I imagine, so the Post count is still there to work for the user but is not displayed on the Forums.
