Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts

[LauraS]

This is an option for our forums: "Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts? Yes/No"

If you set a forum to "Yes", how does the system flag these posts in the forums/threads/posts tables, what field(s) is updated so the system knows not to count posts toward user post counts?

The only place any record is stored, is in the user.post table, it stores a count.

When a forum is set to on, the old value gets +1, if its off, no update is done.
