Post Count Changes

[LBizGrl]

SMF Version: SMF 1.1.1
I have had several members tell me that there post count has decreased. What could have caused this?

I though it would be because of forum maintenance...however, when I did a search here someone said that would not be the reason...ACK!

Any help is appreciated!

Deleting posts will cause your post count to decrease. Even moving them to the recycle board (if enabled) will cause this.

Is there any way around that? I mean, I want to be able to delete posts AND members keep their post count

[SleePy]

you could attempt to remove it in RemoveTopic.php

Open Sources/RemoveTopic.php.

Find:

Code Select Expand

function removeTopics($topics, $decreasePostCount = true, $ignoreRecycling = false)

Change to:

Code Select Expand

function removeTopics($topics, $decreasePostCount = false, $ignoreRecycling = false)

Find:

Code Select Expand

function removeMessage($message, $decreasePostCount = true)

Change to:

Code Select Expand

function removeMessage($message, $decreasePostCount = false)

Sorry to bump this topic up, it's old.  But I didnt want to re-create another topic identical to it.      I noticed the date on the topic and the version is different.    But can this coding still work the same?

[codenaught]

Yeah it should still work. The same exact lines of code that are being searched for are also in the latest version of SMF.

Alright, Thank you

Same for bumping it ...again, but this same coding is in 1.1.4 as well? I'd like to not have my post counts drop either.

EDIT: It seemed to work for me...so...cool
