The admins disabled post counts! MJH told me, because I asked why odd things were happining....I think it's my fault....
-
All I have to say about this is:
Good
-
I don't spam for high counts...
...but I do like post count.
However, if it helps stop spam, then it's required.
-
I think it sucks
-
We find that it's necessary.
-
And I agree
would it be possible to take away the post count number all together? That zero looks mighty ugly
-
Good.
-
Well, I don't know how all you people here care about post counts, but, as Cesque said:
Good.
Razz
-
I do not really care one way or the other.
-
Could you at least make it not say New? its so annoying...
-
Ha ha! Since I'm with the brotherhood I don't have a thing that says NEW! Razz
-
And I am new, so it doesn't matter for me Razz
-
Who needs post counts? We all know I have 5,600 posts...hence I rule. Yay.
-
umm......nah....
-
Yay. No more post counts.
Oh, but Vampz... The thingy says you have zero... Just like us. That's right. Like us. Do you tremble at the thought? Mwahahahaha!
Mwahahahahaha!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
...
I'm done.
-
MJH. I'm not sure if you can get rid of the Posts: 0 thing but I know for a fact that you can get rid of the New thing. And I think I speak for all of us when I say: We don't want the new thing there, get rid of of it, please!
-
Of course he can get rid of it, just edit the template for view topic. Take about 10 seconds.
-
Yeah, the "Posts: 0" thing looks wierd, but nowing forums in general, I guess this can't be simply "erased".
Propably you should put post counts to some funny number, like "Posts: 666", "Posts: 256", "Posts: 1618", Posts: 1984", "Posts: 314", etc...
-
Yes, because all of those numbers are absolutely sidesplitting.
-
I wonder if he could make us have: 4520 1/2 posts!? That would be funny
-
I dont think its possible to have a half of a post. What would that be?
-
It would be a half of a post Razz
-
Give us all 9999 posts.
I love the number 9999. >D
-
Actually, with an adjustment, i could do 4532.5.......but i don't have the time right now to look into the modifications, later tonight, when i get home from work, i'll look at the stuff.
-
Cool! Give me 99999.05 posts! That would be funny!
-
Sorry guys. It had to be done. Should've been done a long time ago really. Anyways, I've modified the usergroups so that everyone displays as "Member" and not "New", with the exception of Admin, moderators, and The Brotherhood members of course. I looked around in the PHP files for a couple of minutes trying to figure out how to remove the part that lists the # of posts, but I couldn't find it. Maybe Mike Hill will have more luck.
-
I know how to disable it for a proboards account...but that probably wont help, considering this is PHP based.
And I dont really care anyways, everyone knows ive been here since August 2001....well all the old members.
-
I remember joining back in october of 01. good times
-
Good times indeed...
-
wait, it was october of 2002, I saved the e-mail Very Happy

So *********** is your password? Excellent... Now I'm gonna impersonatoietacono(Editor: Censored)ingtersonate (hard word) you.
Nvm.
-
It'll be in the html template for viewtopic, not the php file itself.
There will be like a line of html saying:
Posts: {USER_POSTCOUNT}
or something like that.
But yeah, MJHill can do it...easy enough.
-
i think the post count should be kept in the member profile.....just not on topics and stuff.........i like to see how active i am, and how active others are.....(not in a bad way, of coarse)
-

Do you mean IMPERSONATE A YOUR (Editor: Censored)KING ACCOUNT?
-

Umm, the main point was to take them away from the member profile so it doesn't promote spam.

I wanted to protect my password, so I put in more "*" then there were
Ha

I think it was a joke. I also think you knew that, but I guess I'll say that to the people who don't know that, so anyways......I see everyone was changed to Member, but the Posts: 0 still didn't change....
