Problem with Thread Posting Numbers

Author Message   Bill Mathews Advanced Member Username: Bill_mathews Post Number: 152 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, August 17, 2008 - 04:28 pm:    You also will need to reset/restate your BIO information, ie. age, occupation, city, quote, etc. This is important information when helping folks travel, ie. their start point...   Bob M Member Username: Bob_m Post Number: 33 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 12:23 pm:    Oh dopey me. I simply assumed that the "re-numbering" of my posts was the board's way of indicating the number of relevant posts I made out of the total number I made. <G>   Cherry C. Senior Member Username: Cherry Post Number: 3903 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 11:59 am:    I think that most and perhaps all of the people who reported changes in their numbers were simply interested in alerting Dirk to (another) observed quirk in the program. Certainly for ME it's not a contest!   Tony Cabrera Advanced Member Username: Tonyc Post Number: 302 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 10:58 am:    RAB, I also feel that it really doesn't matter how many posts you have in your record; my guess is that it makes people feel good about it. Happy travels!   D.B.M Uk Senior Member Username: Overlandrover Post Number: 3341 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 06:32 am:    RAB I would love to have a Julian calender, but I was hoping the more post, the better discount on Dirks Store   Nelly Advanced Member Username: Nelly Post Number: 164 Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 06:21 am:    It really dont matter to me. So long as my post get posted to the right forum, thats what matter. Just like RAB said.   RAB Intermediate Member Username: Bonnardflamer Post Number: 82 Registered: 12-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 02:20 am:    whats the big deal on the number of posts??are we having a contest??. winner to receive perpetual julian calendar. as long as info is disseminated does the post # really matter??   Dirk Pepperd Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 237 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 - 10:01 pm:    Don I'm still fixing these. Anyone that wants their post number re-calibrated please email me direct.   D.B.M Uk Senior Member Username: Overlandrover Post Number: 3333 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 - 04:19 pm:    Just noticed, the posts are back up and running. Thanks Dirk, or who ever sorted it out. I won't worry about the odd one or two.   D.B.M Uk Senior Member Username: Overlandrover Post Number: 3330 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 - 01:58 pm:    rinaldo, I had a thought come to me about this posting numbers loss. On Dirks new site about buying things, there is a place where if you have a discount put the number in. MAYBE if we hit certain total when posting, we get a discount on purchases. If that be the case, bet John D is really upset. He should have had enough to get at least 75% off.   rinaldo Advanced Member Username: Rinaldo Post Number: 215 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 11:08 pm:    Dirk, asked me to tell everyone that he will reset their numbers so not all is lost. Just give Dirk some time to do this. He said he will fix it and not to worry.   Dirk Pepperd Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 234 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 10:18 pm:    Team, This happened because I had a major crash in the user database and I had to reload it (sorry) Go back and try to find your last post prior to this morning and let me know your count I can get it reset so all is not lost. No diapers Tony!   Cherry C. Senior Member Username: Cherry Post Number: 784 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 09:43 pm:    Add me to the list! I just was relieved of slightly more than 3000 posts. (But at least I remain a "senior member.") (For the time being, until the next round of pruning?)   Tony Cabrera Advanced Member Username: Tonyc Post Number: 292 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 06:09 pm:    TD-OH, Edgar, A-Dubose, D.B.M.Uk and, others to come: I think this is going to be a lot of fun! Back to diapers...... (ja,ja..) Happy travels!   D.B.M Uk Senior Member Username: Overlandrover Post Number: 668 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 05:06 pm:    I dropped about 3,000 post as of today. Now if I could take a few years off too, that would be handy.   A DuBose Member Username: Adl Post Number: 16 Registered: 07-2006 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 05:02 pm:    Ditto. Though I recall being an intermediate member and am now back to "new user" :-)   Edgar Inocentes Intermediate Member Username: Traveler88 Post Number: 73 Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 04:14 pm:    Same here. Also, went back to "Intermediate Member"   TD~OH Member Username: Tomi~d Post Number: 36 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 02:20 pm:    TC..same happened to me today..went from 825' down to 35 posts, but who's counting..   Tony Cabrera Advanced Member Username: Tonyc Post Number: 289 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 01:38 pm:    Not that really make any difference to me, but it could be to others, if indeed it's happening to other posters. I did two postings today and to my surprise they were numbered 287 and 288 respectively. To my knowledge, I've made over 1,000 postings since I joined the Board. Could there be a systems problem? Thanks and happy travels!
