Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 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. *this message sponsored by the drive to 5* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 That sounds suspiciously like it belongs in the same category of "fixes" as rm -r *. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 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.
