It seems in the process of repairing user profiles and thread/post counters, you guys (sort of) fix another (unrelated) problem.
It has long been reported the
phantom pages/posts phenomena but no fix has been officially announced (most recent official reply from 2/12/08
here). I personally witness this problem since early December 2007. Out of curiosity, I double checked tonight a thread that has been carried this phantom page problem and I've been closely monitored. The phantom page just disappeared!
Other than rebuilding the counters, I don't know what else you guys did (or been doing since April 9th). At least you guys did something right. You guys got the stored thread lengths and actual length of the thread in sync for the time being. Good job!
Next time don't blame me for delivering only bad news and problems, OK?
But, please, please, keep them in sync at all times! I don't want to see another phantom page ever again. Thank you!
