    Re: I lost 400 post

    Anyway, I figured that I proved my point with those padding posts I made the other day, so I went and deleted the threads. Well, I selected all of the threads (since Boomboom made like 8 copies...) and chose delete, then clicked OK. 30 seconds goes by with my browser working, and then I get an "Internal server error" page from the forum. Well, the threads deleted, but instead of "soft deleting" them (which just makes the threads invisible) like I asked it to, vBulletin aparently "Physically deleted" them because their nowhere to be found now. Ever since then my post count has been reset. I'm assuming that the weekly maintenance job (which should occur sometime tonight, I think) will fix the problem though, and honestly I don't really care about it anyway since it's just my post count that seems to have been messed up. IIRC the maintenance job runs at around 2 AM Pacific (5 am Eastern), and I'm guessing that it might take some extra time this time around, so if the forums are slow or something early in the morning I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Doesn't look like it was corrected.

    I lost 4k post, with that, and the 3k post that freaking stieny deleted would put me at 19-20k.

    I think it's a matter of in trying to prove a point it got out of hand and backfired. Now it only looks like it backfired if you care about post count and Ohms doesn't so to him it is probably no biggie. I am somewhat ambivalent. I like to see how often I have posted but it's not the end of the world to me.
