Post Counts?

[UsualSuspectXXX]

When did post counts get reverted? Not that I really care, just curious as to what happened... or is it just me?


(Yes, this tab has been open for quite some time.)

[Bromono]

I think it is just you?

Edit: nvm I never look at mine. They probably closed a thread. /shrug

[UsualSuspectXXX]

I think it is just you?

Huh, I guess I'm starting over =P

[HPE1000]

Something broke.

For example the "what did you get in the mail today" thread just duplicated itself (IDK if that is related). That thread was just on page 995 today, then if you go to the next page it goes back to the first page, and starts the thread over, going all the way to page 1990 or something. Hard to explain, but something broke.

See: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33130.new#new

Chrome is saying there isn't something secure on page 996, but on page 997, it goes back to second page of the thread.

I hadn't even noticed how long that thread got.

Btw, page 996 and 997 load fine for me, so there might be something iffy with your version of Chrome.

[user 18]

Yes, there's something funny going on. We're looking into it. As far as I am aware, it was not done on purpose, but we need to speak to the admins who have access to the backend of the site to see if they know the cause.

I don't believe any posts have been lost, just post count being reported incorrectly.

[ygor]

Doubling everyone's post count would probably require a SQL command that'll muck up 'n accidentally delete what's left of everyone's will to live.

[byker]

Yeah something happened yesterday, and we are not quite sure what.. The entire mail thread also got unapproved and is still having some issues. It might take us some time to figure out whats going on, but bear with us!

[rowdy]

Awww I'm under 20K again with all the newbs.

Have to ramp up the posting rate again ...

[CommonCurt]

Lost around 1,800 of my post count

[SBJ]

I wasn't hit as hard as some other members. Think I lost around 100 posts.

[rowdy]

Seems to be kinda proportional.

Something like around 10-15% of posts are gone.

Which, obviously, is a lot more for some people than others.

[SpAmRaY]

I'm wondering what mod was drunk moderating and screwed things up.

Surely there are logs?

Edit: Also wondering if some of the bigger photo heavy threads are too big for SMF to handle. They might need locked then restarted as v2.

Can someone explain what is happening? I have seen something similar from time to time; each time a different explanation was given. Nothing makes sense though.

There are logs, but nothing in the logs the mods have access to explain this. We think it has to do with the database behind the site, which we as mods don't have access to -- so we have to wait for the admins to take a look, as it's a separate set of logs.

The last time postcounts changed (that I recall) was when we changed which subforums counted towards postcount. That's different from what happened this time, because as far as we're aware, it wasn't the specific action of any mod that led to this issue. We don't yet know what the cause was this time, we're hoping once the admins take a look we'll have an explanation.

Off-topic sub doesn't count.

[rowdy]

Has anyone noticed if their total post count overall is the same?

I can't remember what mine was a week or two ago - maybe a large section of posts was archived or moved into an area that does not count towards post count?

my solution from post whoring was to just remove post counts being displayed. People care less about post counts and more about join dates at that point.

What always amazes me is the people who have been members longer than I have that don't have the 25 posts required to post a classified ad when they decide to clear out their old stuff.

Lots of people make accounts just to lurk. I suppose it does make it easier to follow threads and such that you're interested in. Personally, I never bother making an account anywhere until I want to participate, but I can see the logic in other approaches.

I don't think we lost posts, but I also don't know of any threads being moved or subfora having their settings altered. Still waiting to hear back from the admins.

If anyone does know of some thread or grouping of posts that's missing, or doesn't appear to be being counted, that would be valuable information for us to have.

My overall post count is exactly the same as it was before the drop.

Right after posting (not really an issue, someone on that page has an image hosted on that site or something).



Dumps me here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33130.msg628784#msg628784

Which is page 996 when viewing 50 posts/page.

Also confirmed that it looks like each new reply pushes the place forward by one where you'll land when the page refreshes after posting, OR clicking the 'Last Post' link in Spy.

[xondat]

Whether it's a coincidence or not, I've posted in the interest check forum 430 times, and I lost 430 posts.

rkinze, samwisekoi, and iMav I believe are the ones who have that access. ashort may as well, but I don't know that I've ever interacted with him. Not 100% sure which of them is looking into this, but I believe it's iMav.

Photo is more of a front-end admin, and has more crossover with the senior mods. I don't know to what extent, if any, she has access to the backend.

Obviously the 'What did you get in the mail?" thread has the most replies of any thread on the forum.

Every once in a while I'll also get a notification of a post from a few months ago.

Basically, I think the emails have always been a bit broken.

[SpAmRaY]

Yeah the counts  are still messed up from when this thread was started.

The most recent deduction that seemed to happen in the last day or two was corrected but not the initial problem from over 2 weeks ago.

<— Checking my post counts

[ideus]

All users' post counts have been "recounted".  Enjoy!

Not mine; but, anyways.

[alienman82]

removed.

Mine appear to be correct, but saying that, what even is correct?

Yea but why are some users deducted TWICE.. ??

[ideus]

I lost over five hundred posts this time.

Yeah i wanna say I'm still down like 300 or so

[user 18]

I know I've gotten several days of emails all in a block before. Let me do some digging.

I feel like 50% of the time I have that happen.

Every once in a while I'll also get a notification of a post from a few months ago.

Basically, I think the emails have always been a bit broken.

Slightly off-topic for the moment, but email notifications are working for me again

E: also, my postcount still isn't what it was before any of the issues either.

I'm still down about 500.

Ripster's ghost has come back to haunt us :spooky

Could it be that certain threads have too many posts and it's causing issues with the database? I know on another forum (different board software) that's a problem over a certain number of posts per thread so they ask users to cap it and create new threads.

My post count has remained the same [edit: wait about 10 posts are missing since last time I visited this thread] but I notice a few others who post in some of the megathreads have had thousands missing. If it were related to the larger threads it might make some sense. Just speculating.

[hapakey]

Why blame Ripster?

Why blame Ripster?

It's a joke about his attempt to crash the site using a post count vulnerability.

[killiah]

[Bromono]

Mine has not changed. But all good. I only lost like 400.

Yeah I just checked to make sure I was right in saying I am down about 300 and that is what it seems to be.

[user 18]

One of the mods is going through and looking for any inconsistencies. We'll keep you all in the loop.

[ideus]

Awesome! Thank you.

Cool. I was getting close to 4,700 before they all got messed up. I won't be heartbroken if it can't be fixed, but it would be nice.

Achhhem.. Tp4 +7000 is reasonable..  I am quite sure I was up around 17200  before 2 significant drops.

[rowdy]

Some of us lost more posts than most people have in total

You didn't have over 17K that counted. 

I was down ~6K, now it's more like 3K.

Confusion seems like the perfect opportunity for some "cleaver" people to increase its count in the thousands. LOL.

[iMav]

The post counts are CORRECT.  Note, if you had posts counted from a forum that was later changed to not have posts counted towards your total...a recount wipes those out.  They would not get wiped up unless a recount was initiated (which is not part of any regular maintenance task).

Okay good to know iMav. Thanks for the clarification.

[Puddsy]

seems fixed now

im only down like 120 now

[iamtootallforthis]

Yeah iMav said that it is fixed but with the recount you may have lost posts due to the changes that caused different forums to count for posts and stuff.
