Post counts - oops!

[Jeff]

Just doing some maintenance on the forum and I accidentally rebuilt all the post count stats.

This means that any posts that people made that have now been deleted won't be counted in the total.

We have around 2½ years of posts currently in the forum, any posts made before then won't be counted in the stats.

There's no chance at all of getting these back Webby?

The only chance would be if I restored the previous backup. But if I did that we'd lose all posts from the week or so since the backup.

In the great scheme of things does it matter,just means we will have to sit through more of those fecking 'Congratulations on you 2567th Post' Threads:icon_roll
I care not whether I have 20 or 200000 posts.

Was this just a general mistake or can you only keep posts on the forum for a certain length of time

I didn't delete any posts yesterday, it's nothing to do with length of time.

I deleted a load of old posts around 18 months ago, to make it easier for me to move the site. But when I did that the post counts stayed the same. I haven't mass deleted posts since then.

But yesterday I needed to recalculate the threads / posts stats for the forum, after moving a load of posts from the games forum to the new entertainment forum. By mistake I clicked on the link to recalculate the user posts stats, instead of the forum stats. So the user stats were recalculated using only posts currently in the database.

I always thoughts posts deleted by the mods didn't count anyway?

Posts that are deleted by mods don't count for the total.

But if I do a mass prune of posts, like I did a couple of years ago, the post counts remain the same, unless I do the recalculate thing that I did by mistake yesterday.

Nothing is going to be wiped.
