Post count varience

[audiovoodoo]

Ok.. This has got me stumped.

I've been posting moderately in two sections tonight. Other & Linux. In Linux my post count presently shows as 1512 now in the other if I load a page I have just posted in and hit refresh I get a shown post count of 1501.

I thought I was going mad. If I click my details by my avatar in Other I get 1501 and in Linux 1512. My post per day is also different. What is really strange is that if I hit refresh having posted in another section I can see my count increment by one in the other section but there is still a difference between the two totals shown.

Any ideas folks or is it time to PM fredi?

I’ve noticed a discrepancy as well, though not as large as yours. I have a variance of one post between sections. Hardware, CE, and Community puts me at 1055. Network, Mobile, Games, and Software puts me at 1056.

There, now I’ve done some leg-work. Maybe fredi will recognize a pattern.

It might have something to do with deleted/moved threads. :?:

 

[audiovoodoo]

Yeah.. but that should show in all sections when the posts are deleted. I could see a few going from the daft ones in the test section but I've seen that before and there was a drop everywhere.

I think this started around the time of the site update. I tend to notice it late at night and put it down to tiredness or me not refreshing pages (i am a tab browsing convert).

Mind you.. it might explain why I get more respect in linux than in the other :?

EDIT: This is showing me as 1506 in this thread... WTH?? 1517 in Linux...

Welcome to the wacky world of the New Forumz..... That's when it started & has never been fixed..... From day one this bug was there..... You can give Fredi a bump, but it's been this way for 14 months now..... [shrug]

It took you this long to catch on...... Oh, you haven't been here 14 months yet..... [double shrug]

To be honest I stopped keeping much of an eye on it once I cracked 1k and people stopped calling me a noob. Couple that with the state I am in most of the time I'm at the PC and it did take me a while. I normally post just in the other with the odd post elsewhere but I had a Linux post flurry yesterday and even I can see a 20 post difference.

As my current count in this thread is still (despite a couple of posts this evening) showing lower than it did in the Linux threads last night I have to say this is a pants counter system. I thought my count was increasing more slowly than it had previously.

@Fredi -- Fix it and I'll gimp up some fake nude Cheeze ball pics

I think AV is trying to give him a "bump". :?

Does he need any help? Don't know what language he's using, but I know a few, and can read several more. Not to sound condescending, I'd just love to put volunteer programming on my resume...

 

[RCPilot]

Man, I don't have anything to do with any of that.....

 

[VBDude]

Should I PM him then?

 

[RCPilot]

Have at it Man...... Watch your out box to see when it goes.......

 

[VBDude]

:lol: True that. I had a thread transfer request that ended up going to him. Took a week.

Do all of the mods do this on their free time?

 

[RCPilot]

Well, all my time is free, so yea, I do it on my free time.......

Well, all my time is free, so yea, I do it on my free time.......

wow what a great saying, lol.

This problem is now fixed. Simply create a new post, and things should sync up nicely.

[VBDude]

Well, it worked...once I posted in Games. Guess you have to post in Network, Mobile, Games, or Software to get it synced.

Thanks, Steve.

 

[steve_sa]

No problem VBDude. Actually, now you just post anywhere and it should sync fine.
