We have had an issue where users are posting one line nothing posts, simply for the fact of increasing their post count and status, but its becoming annoying to our other users
I have managed to set our post count so that it no longer counts the posts of our users, however it then has left the post counts to whatever it was upon disabling this function, and still displays them under their ussernames
I would like to know is it possible to remove the post count from being displayed under the username on their posts.
Can someone please help me out.... Cheers |

Thanks, I have looked at the topic.asp code and havent had any success in finding the line of code that effects this count. Could you please provide me details of where in the code to change this.
Thanks in advance |

Just edit their number of posts in their profile.
It hasn't been a problem on my forum, but if it was I'd initiate a rule and dump them back to 0 posts in a heartbeat. |

If you're wanting to remove the text that displays a user's number of posts on topic.asp, edit the following sections:
On 562-567 (in an unmodified topic.asp):
if strCountry = "1" and trim(Reply_MemberCountry) <> "" then
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Reply_MemberCountry & "</small></font><br />" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Reply_MemberPosts & " Posts</small></font></p></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & CColor & """ height=""100%"" width=""" & strTopicWidthRight & """"
if lcase(strTopicNoWrapRight) = "1" then Response.Write(" nowrap")
Remove the red part so it looks like this:
if strCountry = "1" and trim(Reply_MemberCountry) <> "" then
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Reply_MemberCountry & "</small></font><br />" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " </p></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & CColor & """ height=""100%"" width=""" & strTopicWidthRight & """"
if lcase(strTopicNoWrapRight) = "1" then Response.Write(" nowrap")
Then at lines 767-771:
if strCountry = "1" and trim(Member_Country) <> "" then
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Member_Country & "</small></font><br />" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Member_Posts & " Posts</small></font></p></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strForumFirstCellColor & """ width=""" & strTopicWidthRight & """"
Remove the red so it looks like this:
if strCountry = "1" and trim(Member_Country) <> "" then
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Member_Country & "</small></font><br />" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " </p></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strForumFirstCellColor & """ width=""" & strTopicWidthRight & """"

Hey cool! I figured out how to make the first code change in my life.
I see this mod removed the post counts from the posts themselves but the post counts are still in the member list.
Is there any code for removing the post counts off of the member list too,
is there somewhere else where the admin or moderators can then check the post counts? |

| You could set it so that post counts don't display on the member list or the member profile. If you want admins to be able to see post counts, you can add a check for mlev on the member profile page. |

By set it do you mean you change settings in the admin control panels or do you mean changing the operating code?
I didn't see anywhere that could be done in the admin section.
If it is a code change I would need some specific instructions like the ones a few posts up.
Thanks, |

Darth,
If you dont want the post counts to be counted, ensure that you are logged on as an admin. Then in the forum list select the 'Edit Forum Properties' button on the right hand side. When they open up there is a drop down for 'Increase Poast Count' Set it to 'No'.
If you do this on all your forums, they dont ever increase their post count.
Cheers

I could have sworn I saw that option somewhere earlier but now I can't find it.
When I log on as admin I have a link on the right hand side that says: Admin options.
When I click that I get a page which has the following categories:
Forum Feature Configuration:
Main Forum Configuration
Feature Configuration
Member Details Configuration
Ranking Configuration
Server Date/Time Configuration
Email Server Configuration
Font/Table Color Code Configuration
Bad Word Filter Configuration
UserName Filter Configuration
Category/Forum Order Configuration
Group Categories Configuration
Other Configuration Options and Features:
Members Pending (3)
Admin/Moderator List
Member Search
Moderator Setup
E-mail List
Server Information
Forum Variables Information
Update Forum Counts
Archive Forum Topics
Shut Down the Forum
MOD Setup (Alternative MOD Setup)
Check Installation (Run after each upgrade !)
I looked through these categories and didn't see the selection for 'increase post counts'
Any ideas?
Thanks. |

What you'll be looking for is on the default page of the forum, not in Admin Options. On the front page of your forum (where the different categories and forums are displayed) and click the edit icon next to a forum. That's where you'll find the "Increase Post Counts" option.
This will effectively freeze the post counts of all your users. |

Darth,
Select 'All Forums'. Then in the forum list, beside one of the forum names on the right one of the buttons is for 'Edit Forum Properties', in there you will see the Increase Post Count flag |
