Mini Mods - prevent reduction of postcounter

This is a small, neat modification which let you delete old threads and posts without making your users cry that their postcounter decreases with that action.

While using this modification your user's postcounter will reflect their over-all-activity, not just "how many posts are currently in the database".

You don't need any hidden trashcan-forum for old threads anymore, just to make sure nothing gets deleted


This modification is designed for vBulletin 3.8.x


Version History:
1.10 - restore of post/thread does not increase postcounter as it was not decreased before when deleting it
1.00 - initial release for vB 3.5/3.6 (here)


Installation is quite simple, just import the product and enjoy

I think I will stick to archiving instead of deleting for now.

is there any way for this to work with the forum post count as well as the member post count. I'm always reluctant to prune threads from the forum as one of things potential members look at is the amount of threads and posts a forum has made.

Where it says "x users have made a total of x posts in x threads", if I delete a post the users post count doesn't change, but does the board counter change?

Does exactly what it says, dont worry about the others moaning, great hack man.....

Hi,

We installed this mod in our forum but just recently we discovered it's causing the weird post increase whenever a thread is moved. The increase will depend on the number of posts you have on that thread multiplied by how many times you move it. Like if I transfer a thread from Forum 1 to Forum 2 and I have 50 posts for that thread, 50 posts will be added in my post counter. When I move it back to Forum 1, another 50 will be added.

Can this be investigated? We really love your add-on! We hope something can be done with this. Thanks in advance!
