Please Help!!! Post count NOT Updating

[Scalemotorcars]

My members post count is not updating. Ive tried rebuilding all the counters, tried manually running all the scheduled tasks and still noting. My members post counts are stuck.

Also I noticed that all the scheduled tasks are also stuck. They are not creating logs even with the log turned on.

This is a serious problem with my site. If the post count doesn't work many features are disables.

Please help I'm out of things to try.

Update: I turned off all my hacks and ran the counters and tasks again. No change. I looked in the admcp and and the post counts are not updating there either.

Heres a link to one of the page. Take a look at user Ard , he's clearly posted several times and the counter is not changing.

Is this on my end only or ???

Your cron jobs should be running. This was in the footer (please fix the copyright notice unless you have purchased a brand free license):

<div align="center">
	<div class="smallfont" align="center">
	<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
	`
	<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
	</div>

	<div class="smallfont" align="center">
	<!-- Do not remove <img src="http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/cron.php?rand=1234376349" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
	<img src="http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/cron.php?rand=1234376349" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />
	<!-- Do not remove <img src="http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/cron.php?rand=1234376349" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->

	
	</div>
</div>

Have you checked your Forums to make sure you have post count turned on in them?

The phrase is there in the template.

PHP Code:

<div class="smallfont" align="center">
    <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
    $vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
    <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
    </div> 


Check another language and it shows.

Maybe something is missing in php. What file is that in and Ill look there.

Didnt see where to turn off post counts. Where do I look?

[Lynne]

Check the phrase then. Maybe someone accidentally edited it and put in just the apostrophe.

For post counts, look in Forum Manager > select the forum to edit > Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts > Yes

All fixed. It was missing in the English phrases.

Thanks again for the quick help.

Glad you got it all figured out.

One last thing,

Any ideal why the scheduled tasks are no logging. I have them set to create a log each time they run but unless I run them manually they don't do it and even then I need to open the task then close it, .... then run the task to get the log created.

The dates don't update on their own at all without doing this. ????

Is the Next Time showing correctly in your Scheduled Tasks manager?

[Scalemotorcars]

No its not. Its not adding the next time to run the task. (only chages the date if I click edit, save) (only adds log if I do this first then run manually) otherwise its sits there. All tasks are set to log so thats not it.

Hasn't worked correctly for almost a year.

I had a fairly major crash in early 2007 and it only seemed to work for a short time after or around that same time. Hasnt updated or added a log since unless I do it manually.

I didn't bother with it since the site seemed to work fine but I realize thats not the way it should work so I want to get it back to normal.

At that time I was 3.5.6 (I think) Running 3.7.3 now. Tons of work so I'm not ready to update to 3.8 just yet.

Got your PM. Will do.

Have you looked in your error_logs? Maybe it will say something in there about why they aren't running. Maybe it's a permission thing... what are the permissions on your cron folder and on the cron scripts inside of it? My cron scripts are 644 and 755 (some of each) and my cron folder is 755.
