vb.org Archive - View Single Post - How hard is it to make posting in a specific board -1 postcount?

phpMyAdmin is a tool to edit mysql data once it is posted... You need to be looking at the php scripts that actually make the posts (part of vBulletin) and editing those.

Take a look at newpost.php and newreply.php and their required library scripts. It's somewhere in the middle.

--------------- Added [DATE]1234408231[/DATE] at [TIME]1234408231[/TIME] ---------------

Ok I decided to look for myself and while I didn't test I think I found it for you...

1. Open file includes/class_dm_threadpost.php
2. Go to line 614 and you'll see the posts going up

You can directly edit the code here or find a hook and build a plugin.

One way to do this is to disable posts from counting in that forum and then copy the if statement on line 614 and change it to check for the right forum ID and then adjust the query to be posts - 1.

Have fun
