We had a discussion about the way of calculating the posts count and decided not to decrease the value on posts deleting.
I see, but that was almost 2 years ago...
Anyway, I think it would be better and more accurate to count current posts only. But that's just my opinion.
very acurate and arguably useful info about someones past activity...
That's true. There could be a switch in the administration panel, though. Then, the admin could choose between the way it works right now, or the way I've suggested.
It's just a suggestion, though. I think all phpbb forums work the way I described above. Maybe that's why I was confused about it. 
Ok, then it's kind of inaccurate... What if there was a member with 2000 posts and 1000 of them were deleted? People might ask where all the posts are...
Well, that kind of doesn't answer my question. I know that there was ONE post after the fresh install. The problem is that if I delete one of my posts, the counter doesn't change (subtract the deleted post).
Let's say I have 3 posts in my forums. I add a new post somewhere in my forum. The counter says 4, which is ok. Now I delete one of my posts. And the counter still says 4, which is wrong. It's supposed to say 3 (since 4-1=3).
Or is this the way how the counter works? Does it count all your posts you have added even though some of them have been deleted?
I have a question concerning posts. I've just installed a new forum on my localhost server and it says that I've already added 3 posts. But that's not true. I've only added 1 post. Why does it say 3 posts? It's supposed to say 1 post.
I thought it was supposed to count only posts that are currently on the forum, not the total number of posts I've added since the installation of the forum.
Thanks.
