Post Count Out Of Sync?

[Chris]

I just notice that the last 3 post I posted didn't go up. Is anyone experience that as well?

[lethal]

Maybe you're just frozen at 1300, Chris.?

I haven't noticed any problems on my account.

[Chris]

Yeah maybe. It was weird. :) Thanks LW.

hey waitaminute... i think my post count is not going up either

[SunWuKong]

oh now it did...

[SunWuKong]

and now it didn't...

[Chris]

oh okie hehe it only going up like every 2 - 3 of them

[kasia]

why are you freaks counting?

[SunWuKong]

that's really weird. now the post count corrected itself. what the hell's wrong with the SQL that does the post count? it should be completely straight-forward. i wonder if they made it more complicated than it needs to be.

[Chris]

hmmmm i wouldn't have notice it until I was just going to make it 1300. It just got stuck there for some strange reason.

[SunWuKong]

hmm... the server must be struggling to run all those SQL updates if the count is out of synch.

It's happening to me, too.

Sorry for the delay, was out most of today and then had to revive my laptop from the brink of death.

Anyway, I installed an anti-post whoring hack: http://forums.yellowworld.org/index.php?ac...=ST&f=33&t=7926 (http://forums.yellowworld.org/index.php?act=ST&f=33&t=7926)

Basically it ignores posts that are under 50 words, but this number is configurable.

Moving to the Support forum, in case anyone else is wondering...

[achtungbaby]

I've changed the minimum word count from 50 to 25...

25 is still alot. should make it 10.
