post counter

Ok, i don't care for post counts neways, but this just seems a little weird.

How come i can come on the BB, read through a bunch of stuff and make maybe 4 posts, yet the post count only goes up by two.
Only just noticed, thought maybe i was breaking rules with posts and they were being deleted. so did a post search on myself.

I do believe, that once a thread is deleted you lose your "posts" you put into it. So, the forum may read 267 but you've only got 243 physically there.

Yup the phuckster is right....I have been guilty of that....deleting some of my posts....but when I do...I losed that post I had made...Goes down by one..

i'd imagine when a forum counts each post as an individual count, that wouldn't affect deleted posts. in this case, you got a universal post count, one that applies for everywhere so they don't track it...it's one integer they record and "un-record" so to speak when they delete a thread :}

Ah, makes sense, thanks for the info
