If I did it correctly, 28.

Something doesn't make sense now.

Alright, my number of posts right now is: 5979
The number on the last post in the "Latest posts of" page is: 5988
So 9 messages are missing.
Being a moderator I can see post hell.
My user stats say 62 in post hell.

Hmmm, where would 9 messages go... I don't know if deletes cause this or not. There could have been a point in time that it could have caused it if it doesn't cause it now as the server and software configuration has been changing.

There's gotta be something I am not thinking of.

Hmm, I seem to have 17. Strange, since i get told "Go to hell" on a regular basis.

When a person requests a topic they've started to be deleted, does it get sent to post hell, or does it get deleted out of the data base?

It's possible that there's some incongruities sirpoonga...

especially considering the different variations on SMF/yapbbse this forum has undergone... in older versions stuff might have been moved to post hell , where as now, stuff is probably "deleted" and automagically recycled to "post hell" but that's really a sir woogie question as he may setup byoac different than I setup byopvr.

you should do some tests, deleteing your own posts and seeing what happens =)

I covered that already. I am talking about ME! For me it doesn;t matter if it went to post hell or deleted from database. I can see post hell so those should count in my totals... Unless there is a board I don't know about that has something I posted my totals should come out and no messages should be "missing". Remember, i am a moderator and can see all boards, well, I should be seeing all board

I think rampy is right, something probably got lost in one of the many conversions or upgrades. That or deleting a thread causes it, though someone here tested that already. I haven't tried it myself.

maybe theres a post hell hell.

sirwoogie · « **Reply #47 on:** July 11, 2005, 04:56:46 pm »

Nah, nothing hidden for global mods. More than likely this is just something that slipped into the ether through version upgrades or conversions. It is odd though, the forum software is smart enough to recalculate this. Ehh... just not important enough for me to bother figuring it out.

SirPoonga · « **Reply #48 on:** July 11, 2005, 06:31:05 pm »

Wow woogie, if I was an admin I'd almost freak out about missing info. I'm too much of a database guy, I'd have to find out why there is missing data

danny_galaga · « **Reply #49 on:** July 12, 2005, 01:45:25 am »

how many have i got? i have no idea where you are gleaning this info from and im running out of time at the internet cafe! thanks in advance!

cdbrown · « **Reply #50 on:** July 12, 2005, 02:01:39 am »

I had 695 as total number of posts, and the last thread I checked also had 695. So what does the post hell stats say about me?

paigeoliver · « **Reply #51 on:** July 12, 2005, 02:10:36 am »

I have 95 of them apparently.

Probably mostly Frre iPod/PsP/BigMac threads where I taunted the spammers with the benefits of working at McDonalds vs. trying to spam web forums to get some trinket.

Board changes can cause all sorts of wonkiness.

I AM an admin on the klov.com boards and I can't even edit my own email address in their system due to the multiple upgrades and imports they have gone through.

Maybe a dingo ate your posts?

I doubt it would help, but sirwoog's could try the maintenance thingie in smf admin to recalculate / fix post counts etc...

Ok, what is this now, you guys going to make it a contest to see how many posts get into post hell by replying to spam?

sirwoogie · « **Reply #55 on:** July 12, 2005, 01:32:56 pm »

The forum is up-to-date with counts and stats (it does this automatically every two weeks). This could simply be messages that have been lost over time through conversions or restores. This could have happened well before I arrived on the scene.

Going forward I forbid the forum software or restore from eating ANYTHING.

EVERY thread you go back and check will have the same amount of posts attributed to you. You're missing what they're telling you in trying to find this out.

Go ahead.....check EVERY thread you've ever posted in. ALL your post counts will be the same. It's actually kinda funny that's how you were going about it

SirPoonga · « **Reply #57 on:** July 12, 2005, 03:07:22 pm »

FYI for those who don't get how to get the numbers.

To get the numbers:
1) Goto your profile (click profile)
2) Take a note on your "Posts" number.
3) At the bottom of the page click "Show the last posts of this person".
4) Navigate to the last page and note the number
5) Do the math.

For example, right now my Posts says 6007, the number on the last thread is 6017.

Now, for normal users this makes sense if something they posted when to post hell. I don't think the posts number counts the forums you can't see. It might though... I should create a temp user and try this out...
