Getting real post #
 

So my forum is coming up on a million posts and I'm trying to figure out how I"m going to determine who made the millionth post.

I'm going off the post count at the bottom of my forum, but looking at index.php it looks like thats calculated by cycling through all forums and simply summing up replycount for each one. So I don't think that will be much help.

Looking through post table the number of actual posts in DB is far greater than 1 million. I tried filtering out non-visible posts, but no luck matching this with post count shown on forum index.

Any ideas?

What do you consider the x'th post? Counting also deleted posts, or currently the x'th post?

Currently the X'th post. So whichever post made the ticker at the bottom of the Forum index go from 999,999 to 1,000,000.
