Serious Important Hack for 2.2.9

[TheMayhem]

My problem is for christmas I installed a store hack. And the posters absolutely love it. The bad part about it is I have to prune my board once every 3 weeks since we have 27,000 members so there's a lot of posts... I recently upgraded to 2.2.9 and everytime I prune the posters complain and complain about there post counts and user rankings dropping. I went to install the hack that would make it so that when I prune, the post counts don't go down but the problem is the Store Hack coding has interfered so it will not work. What I need is for the post counts not to reduce that'd be integrated in with the Store Hack. This is desperately needed because when I prune my board again, everyones post counts, user rankings, and store points will go down and I really need this hack so all 3 won't. Thanks.

I've never messed with Lesane Store Hack, but I'm in question of how that hack is interfering with pruning of posts..

Did Lesane store hack modify the file thread.php located in the admin directory?

Also, this isn't really a request for a new hack, but more of a request for a bug-fix or support for a hack. Just a side note to keep in mind, for maybe next time

@Velocd, the store hack modified the thread.php in the forum directory, every time a new post is made, points are given.

I didn't know there was a thread.php in the admin directory

Ummm..... admin/functions.php is where it messed with. Both the store hack modifies the same area that is needed for the stop post count reducing hack.

So when you prune posts does it simply give you a parse error or database error in functions.php, or does it execute but the post counts are reduced? I would just undo whatever changes the store hack did to the functions.php section where it might affect posts count, then reinstall that other hack in the section of function.php--then try maybe to integrate the store hack back into functions.php with the other one.

Sorry if this sounds complex, it would require some hacking, but I can't go much farther since I've never dealt with the store hack and don't know the code changes.
