[Not a Bug] Thread redirects being counted in the thread total?

[Paul]

Hi all,

It appears that moving a thread and leaving a redirect will incorrectly increment the thread count--I assume (without looking at the code right now) that the thread count displayed on forumhome is calculated by querying the number of entries in the thread table.

Am I correct in this assumption? Is there a way to circumvent this?

My guess is that this is a design issue.

Thanks,
Paul

Still not fixed in 2.3.3.

Moved to vB2 bugs forum.

Still not a bug.

We choose not to add an index to the thread table that would facilitate this. The thread count is an arbitrary number that is always changing and it's precise value at any given moment in time is not that important to the overall forum. We accept that it may be artifically high by X number of thread redirects.

Okay then. "Approximate thread count" we'll call it... :rolleyes:

I didn't see that in the manual.
