Spiderweb Glitch VI

Yay, let's start the series again!

 

Okay, problem:

 

The post count system as shown in the footer of the posts is really glitchy. On the message board software I'm making with PHP, it's not all that hard to just query the database and get the currrent post count of that member along with when you get the moniker of all things. Then it just all works like a charm and displays the correct post count every time, wherever you are in the forum.

 

However they do it with UBB, it doesn't work as good and is definately less efficient.

That does sound like a problem, but I think I know the fix.

 

Do a file find for modem.sys, and then delete that file. You should not have a problem with the post counts with that annoying file gone.

That sounds suspiciously like it belongs in the same category of "fixes" as rm -r *.

It's most likely because I have the most caching as possible enabled to make page loading faster, which leads to slightly off post counts.

Yeah, I figured something along those lines. I would make perfect sense to catch, say the number of posts in a specific forum so you don't have to count 50,000 posts every time you visit the homepage, but I don't see how doing so for the post counts would make much difference.
