Well, the mass deletion doesn't change post count by default. And implementing thekiwi tips, post deletion and thread deletion also don't change post count, i take it as this is enough

Problem solved, thx folks, let this thread be as is, for those who want this feature.

That's what I thought.  If you use the mass delete posts in the admin area, it doesn't reduce the post count.  That is what Borg changed.  In previous versions it did change the post count.  Now it doesn't.]]> Mon, 15 Dec 2003 21:23:44 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/post-deleting-lowers-post-count_topic8112_post41605.html#41605 <![CDATA[Post deleting, lowers post count : Yup .... you can do this for deleting...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/post-deleting-lowers-post-count_topic8112_post41601.html#41601 Author: thekiwi

Yup .... you can do this for deleting a topic as well

delete_topic.asp change line 170 to be lngNumOfPosts = lngNumOfPosts

From the looks of things delete_group and delete_forum dont change the PostCount

Yup this works, but the problem is it only works for deleting a post at a time... my forum has hundreds of posts...

Our users have posted 3002 Posts in 188 Topics

It's impossible, one at a time, perhaps the place to edit this when a thread is deleted, or a forum or something ?

I thought Borg built in some way to delete posts without reducing people's post count.  I remember it being talked about.]]> Mon, 15 Dec 2003 20:02:17 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/post-deleting-lowers-post-count_topic8112_post41592.html#41592 <![CDATA[Post deleting, lowers post count : Supremo wrote: Hi, i&#039;m...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/post-deleting-lowers-post-count_topic8112_post41513.html#41513 Author: thekiwi

I have a lot of information on our discussion board (spread over several forums) and i'd like to delete it... no problem so far, problem is, by doing so, i'm gonna lower the post count of many ppl, which for some (many) is a problem

Can there be a way of doing so, without affecting the post count ?

Thx in advance for any help
