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 3.6.0
If you are still using 3.5.x use the other attached product-XML


Installation is quite simple, just import the product and enjoy

Thanks a lot, I'm also looking for such a mod that will (only) affect the postcount stats on the forumhome, any chance you will write one like that as well?

Thanks, Zero, and well done!

Ok, I uploaded another XML that is compatible to 3.5

That worked mrZeropage, thank you very much

How will the post count be affected if we run "Update Post Counts" in the Update Counters?

MGM out

[MrZeropage]

Of course the "Update Post Counts" will work as usual, thus reducing the counter... Why would you run that tool with this mod installed ?
