Otsikko: Delete Boards - Posts remain same nr.
Kirjoitti: Dustieann - heinäkuu 01, 2011, 06:46:26 AP
HI,

Hope someone can help me.... i have searched for a answer, but can't seem to find it :(

I deleted 3 Boards with over 80'000 posts today.

I was expecting the member *Posts* to go down, but these have remained the same.

My question. If I have deleted boards with such a high amount of Posts....how come the Member Posts remain the same?

I mean if the post is gone, then shouldn't the Posts change as well?  Or are the post still somewhere in my Database?

Whereas, if I delete individual posts , this does change the Members Post count.

So what is the difference between Deleting boards with posts, or deleting individual posts.

Delete boards = member posts remain the same   Delete individual posts = Member posts go down.

My member groups are based on Posts, so it's important I know how this works :)

Thank you for your help.

I am using version 1.1.14

admin -> forum maintenance find and repair any errors and try recount all forum totals and statistics.

Hi,  thank you for your reply. 

I actually did all that before, and the posts are still there. 

Not a problem if they stay there, but can be a problem if they suddenly do disappear because I deleted so many old posts

I went to delete a board with posts still in it once whereupon the software created an emergency board (containing the posts) visible only to admins.

Have a look in Admin > Boards > Modify Boards to see if it's there.
