Topic: Postcount still the same after deleting a post

Hi,

I don't know whether this has been reported previously or not, but on our forums I have just deleted a post of a member and his postcount remains the same (and perhaps the total messages as well).

Regards.

Jaime

Re: Postcount still the same after deleting a post

It's not a bug, the post count counts how many times the user has posted, not how many posts currently exist by them.

Thanks for your reply.

Any specific reason why PunBB does this way?

Most other board systems take into account any deleted posts on the post count of a user.

Thanks again.

As Rickard said, it's a design choice. If you dislike it, it's certainly possible to change it.
