forum gone mad! :(

[dondino]

Help me..
today I login to my forum and I notice a strange counter of topics/posts at the bottom of index page:
it says:
Threads: 16,777,200
Messages: 4,294,967,300

What went wrong and how can I solve this? the forum is brand new and i'm just creating sections... there are only 4 or 5 posts... test posts.

damn that is a huge board.

thanks Lynne,
I just did that and forum statistics are now normal...
but I don't know how that could have happened........ :confused: and I hope it won't happen again

they gave you the same counters value as mine did??
that should be a serious bug if it's so...........

Did you recently upgrade? There was a funky bug in the cms where if you did *this* and then *that* then the stats went wonky. :/

no... its my 1st vbulletin
got the licence last month and installed the forum only last week... brand new v. 4.0.3 patch 1, with CMS.
I'm playing with it but i'm only creating sections and normal stuff you do when you set up a forum.....
well, we will see if the problem comes up again
