I thought IB is working on the db and bringing back the data, instead of deleting more.
Is this missing post count part of the 12-hour window of data loss
IB-Dick is referring to?
We are NOT deleting data. We ran an update that recalculated post counts. No information was deleted.

You are correct.

Are you saying there's a "different" kind of deleted threads now?
ETA:
OMNIites just figured it out.
It's not about deleted threads. It's about the OMNI post count. IBB you guys really don't get how big the OMNI post count is to some OMNIites.
In previous versions of vB, this was not the case. In recent versions, deleted posts are removed from post counts.
Us IB guys DO understand how important post counts are to some people, which is why we plan on updating them off the backup as soon as we get everything else fixed.
This was unfortunately necessary. The only other option after the corruption was to reload a backup from 12 hours back, losing a half day of posts.
