Points vs Posts & Ladder Groups

Hi,

I have just upgraded from 9.50 to 10.16, and, while everything seems to have been very simple and straightforward, I am a bit unsure about the change from 'Posts' to 'Points'

admin_select_members.asp has a column that reads 'Posts', and has a lower number for anyone who has posted since the forum upgrade - I assume this the old method, simply a count of threads by author?

members.asp has a column that reads 'Points', but three is a difference compared to admin_select_members.asp ONLY for members who have posted since the upgrade. Does this mean that there is no conversion of "posts to points" taking place at upgrade time, for any posts made before the upgrade? i.e. If I raised the points for posting from 1 to 10, I would expect the 'Points' column to increase by x10 for all members, but this does not happen.

Finally, I took the opportunity to change my Primary Ladder Group which should have resulted in a number of members moving up to a new group, but this did not happen. Just to confirm, the Ladder group is based on Points, not Posts, and I would expect anyone with a score of >= the number in the "Minimum Number of Points" setting to automatically appear in this new ladder group? Or do they have to make one more post before group membership is recalculated, for example?

Thanks!

Thanks Scotty, that answers my questions!

1) Post coutns are not converted to Points during the upgrade. I assume that this also means that if you change the 'Group Points' options, they will only start to apply for new activities, and will not be recalculated retrospectively.

2) Ladder group changes are only applied after a member makes a new post.
