Total posts to include soft deleted posts?

[dutchbb]

vBulletin doesn't count soft deleted posts in the total posts statistics. How can I change it to include those?

There doesn't seem to be any setting to do that. I guess you'd have to find the places where the post count is updated when a post is deleted and change it to check for soft deletes. Searching for set('posts' finds a couple places, but I don't know if that's all of them. There's also admincp/misc.php where it rebuilds post counters, I think you'd have to take out the "AND visible = 1' from the SQL.

Thanks, will try that.
