Title: Post Counts?
Post by: UsualSuspectXXX on Fri, 02 June 2017, 17:32:42
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.)

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

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.

Huh. Yea, I'd say something broke =P
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.

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.

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.

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.

I think it's just the what did you get in the mail today thread but that'd mean I've posted there 1600+ times so I could be wrong.

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.

Post by: dgneo on Tue, 06 June 2017, 08:37:28
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.:D

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.

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?

I think overall is the same.

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.

Just curious, who are the back-end admins?

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=69449.0

According to the list there's 4 admins and iMav, ashort not being active in over a year. Photo already knows but told me she's waiting on an Admin as well. So I'm guessing rkinze is the only back-end admin?

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.

If that's the case my goal is to get to 3380 before then so the post count restore bumps me to 5k.

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

Again as I said before I'm betting the database is having trouble due to the size of that particular thread.

I'm wondering if that one's just backed up. I know I've gotten several days of emails all in a block before. Let me do some digging.

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.

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).
