Hello everyone,
Is there any way to adjust a user's post count?  A forum I'm involved with may be switching to SMF but people want to be able to keep their post counts.

Welcome to SMF.

What platform are you using now? If a converter is available, everything is kept, including post counts.

It's phpBB, and yes there is a converter for it.  I'm wondering, though, if I want to start from scratch is it possible to edit user post counts so they don't start from 0?

It is, but I'm not sure if that makes much sense :P So you have a forum with 1 topic and 1000 users with 100 posts each? :P
Also, the way to do it is directly on the database, which is a manual task...

you can do it manually in each persons profile too.
