Number of posts not corresponding to number of posts
In another thread Khampelf pointed out to me that my post count was 0 - a bit strange considering that the post in question was my second on the board. Currently it seems to be stuck on two less than the number of posts I have actually posted. The quality of the posts weren't exactly amazing, but that is hardly the explanation for the situation.

Why, how, when does that happen? Can somebody actually end up with a negative post count?

It has been known to happen. ISTR that Weds once had a post count in the negative billions.

I got better.

TatSavityr, I'm not sure why you have four posts but are only showing two; someone with way better admin skills than mine will look into it.

But the board was taking into account content of her post.

If it makes Fenris happy, I'll bring it up to five, then.

Indeed. Creator, upholder and destroyer all packed into one. Can't spell, though - I typoed while entering my username (I was drunk, I think). So while we're at it: Can someone change my name to TatSavitr? Thanks in advance.

If you posted in a deleted spam thread, it'll reduce your post count

Ah-ha. You posted in a spam thread "ralph lauren milano 1833 towers in the". When I deleted that thread, your post count dropped by one.

He should still have 5; three posts in this thread, two in the 'best avatar' thread.

Yes, you can math, but his post count still says he's only got 4 posts.

I can do it, but you might have to log out and log in with your new name to post again. I dunno--if you can't post, give that a shot.

It's now changed. If you're banned or I've broken the internet, just create a sock and let me know and I'll try to fix it.

Post count is also fixed (until Giraffe does that thing he does that reverts post counts)

That's more like it considering that every living thing ever, existed and exists (and posts) through me alone. Not sure about Giraffe, though.
