thanks alot for coding this mod. love it!

voted MOTM

the difference btw this mod and vb default settings is that with this mod you can disable the post replies post count but not when you create threads. When you create threads you get post count increased.

this is quite handy feature when there are members who create constructive threads on forumsections and especially to a section where members only posts non constructive forum replies

[maidos]

can we have the msg

Thank you for posting! You will now be taken to your post. If you opted to post a poll, you will now be allowed to do so.

only on the forum sections we choose to disable the reply post count

Just a question.

When I install this and mark a forum to prevent post counts, does it recount for previous posts at the same forum ? Or just posts made after this mod installation will be not counted ?

[maidos]

for some reason the mod stopped working
Could you try accessing my forum?

[Leo Brazil]

I've been using this mod for awhile and working fine.

Question: Is there a way to reset all post count and re-count all of them based on this mod permissions ?

It doesnt work for me. It says that this is a duplicate post in the last few minutes and you are redirected. It posts the reply you type, but also adds a post increase.
