    Isn't the DHTML menu generated at midnight? The top stats are still the same, so they must be using some other var for the posts counts now.

    During the backup I thought.

    I think it's a different thread of the day than it was? Open to correction though.

    Listen up n00b. Thats a very serious accusation to make against a mod and somone who has been here since 2002 and an accuastaion being made by somone who has a name as a spammer on the UCD forum. I suggest you edit your post and im not joking.

    Heh, Right is there any sign of the posts being restored to their original number or is it permanent.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    Wait till the backup, maybe the post counts will be rebuilt.
    I quite enjoy my low posts. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    This is starting to feel like fight club where they wipe out the bank records - seriously - set them all to 0 and leave them that way. You know you want to.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada

    Haha, didn't see that one til after.

    I thought Grimes' attempt at comedy was better..


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan


    I've lost approx 4320 posts....... :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,124 ✭✭✭Explosive_Cornflake


    I'd imagine it's reading the value for post count from some other var than was built at random based on some algorithm. The post count var still remains. TBH i liked post count for adverts.ie, it's a much better indication than join date.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,628 ✭✭✭Asok


    The servers will be rebooted while the backup tries to run thus creating backup failure mails to all the admins......that will teach them. Oh yeah and that will fix the "Problem"

    We haven't rebooted boards in months. It went down a couple of weeks ago because of a powercut though.

    Anyway, nothing is broken.

    Can I take this opportunity to remind you all what a fantastic album "Exit Planet Dust" by The Chemical Brothers is.
