Update: 1st December 2002:

I have created an addon for this hack which means that when a member is deleted, the counter on forumhome will not decrease.

That is the attachment, only one modification to index.php required...it is in beta stages, if you find any bugs, please reply to this thread, however I don't think there will be any

as I have tested it and it seemed to work.

Although it is good, I wont use it at my boards...

I feel it is just a way to:

a.) Promote mass spammers - if their posts are deleted, their Post Count doesnt go down? That wont deter them

b.) Promote how great your board is - If the posts dont go down, and a user looks in the board and finds like 3 threads and 20 posts when it says hundreds, or a user has now only 30 posts, but it says he has 130 etc, it looks bad, as if you are faking the counts...

Ah but hellsatan, wouldn't you hate it if your post count went down

Chris M · #4 10-29-2002, 03:25 PM

Not really...

It would be an accurate reflection of the posts I have made...

I dont cheat the system, just spam it

LoL but do you ever prune

With my forum, 90k posts, I can't be bothered to backup the DB daily, so it's gonna be pruned eventually

Chris M · #6 10-29-2002, 03:35 PM

I havent pruned it yet, but my DB isnt large enough for me to warrant pruning...yet

Hey thanks N9ne. It's always good to have a hack like this.

Nice Hack Dude...I really need something like this

xware · #10 10-30-2002, 12:19 PM

It should be this:

PHP Code:


			$countthreads=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT MAX(threadid) AS threads FROM thread');
