I have a small site just a couple of months old. For some reason the post counts are now showing as wildly incorrect. For example, I have an AdminTest identity which I use occasionally if I need to log on but not as admin. My post count for that was under 10 but now showing 937!! Can you tell me please why this has happened and how can I correct it?
I can see in the maintenance section an 'update post counts' but I'm a bit worried about the warning it comes with. Would running this update fix the problem?
This will recalculate all of your user's post counts based on their CURRENT posts in the database. Do not run this if you have pruned posts, manually changed post counts, or imported from another forum package and you wish to maintain your users' current counts. Your members' post counts will PROBABLY decrease so only run this if you believe you really need to! Once they decrease you cannot bring them back up without restoring your database or manually editing each user. You have been warned!
