    Default Odd Post Count Increments

    Well my post count has been really odd recently. A couple weeks ago my post count decreased by 10-12 (I posted that here), then about a week later it increased by 100 (!!!). Really odd happening, I thought I'd missed something or something of that effect. But two days ago it decreased by 8 posts. Please tell me what is happening!

    PS: If I can I'll try and take a screenshot if it happens again, which should be near impossible.

    I can't think of anything that would be doing this ? :(

    My first thought was threads moved between forums that count posts towards your postcount and those that do, however if this is anything like phpbb it's the forum that you post in, not the one the thread's in that counts.

    An obvious cause for losing posts is thread/post deletion, but i can't think of an explanation for postcount increases

    Vanilla vBulletin decreases poscount once posts are deleted, but that function was edited out a while ago.

    There may be something interfering, but I don't know what. Will try to find and fix it.

    Remember that postcount is directly proportional to penis size!

    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
