Hack info
What does it do? - Basically, you can set a Minimum Characters number per post, per forum, so that if you post a message with a character count of less than the forum requirement, your Post count will not increase, but the Post is posted
Enjoy!

otherwise, if someone posts the exact same number of characters as is set for that forum, no update query is run at all, and you might get inaccuraces in your usertable (postcounts not matching usertitles anymore, etc. etc. etc. etc.).
The > has to be >=
2) I don't get it - where / why does this hack add one query? I don't see an additional query Anywhere
Good idea for a hack, but I'm gonna implement a different version (basically just a fixed minimum-char-amuont, not forum-specific. Don't need to edit any files except newreply.php and newthread.php )

Let me know when you come up with something. I'd be interested.
OK, went to my forums today and for some reason all the forums I have applied this too have become forum catagories, also the new hack for these post counts has over placed the Is private Forum Option in the forum modify>edit menu and is a forum (if not will act as catagory) option.
So, my question is, how do I get out of this? and if no one has an answer, how do I uninstall this hack? is there a SQL Query I can run to remove the 2 quries I installed putting this hack in?
