Post Counts
 

I don't know if this is something that has been discussed already (can't get the search function to work) - but I was wondering if a lot of people are missing posts? Not that it's a super-big deal or anything, but I was wondering about it because pre-revamped FT, I had about 1500+ post & post-revamped FT, I had about 1000+ posts.

Just curious what happened & if anyone else is missing a significant number of posts in their post count?

I don't think I'm missing any posts, but I'm not 100% certain.

One thought... since some very lengthy threads have gone missing & can't be brought back, maybe posts to those threads are excluded from the count.

I lost about 1000 posts, but am not too worried about it. I'll get them back sooner or later :D

It'll be about a month or two! ;)

Actually, if history may be used as a guide, it would appear that Scott could easily make more than ten times that number of posts, ie well over 10,000 posts, in a whole month or two! :D

I also lost post counts in the conversion -- about 200 or so. I don't really care.

haha. funny. haha.

I openly confess to being envious to those with larger post counts than me.... I cant explain why, but I know that I just am. I try to make a nice number of posts per day to see if I can keep the gap as small as possible... :o

I think Im just pathetically addicted to FT... :eek:

What the hell... I like to think my envy is not meant in a bad way, and its certainly easier to post more every now and then than to work hard enough to kick the habit, right...? :D

I don't know about the individual post counts, but I do know that many actual posts and entire threads have gone missing after the conversion.

Perhaps the missing posts/threads explains why the counts on the main page dont line up with the "count" that appears in the address line of browser?

This is not a criticism - I think the conversion went extremely well ^ ^ ^

Yes noticed that too. The 750 post "Baht Pass" thread vanished forever at changeover, and I obviously had a lot of posts in there. The really long Hampton Inn one in Hilton Forum vanished. The 1000 post or whatever one in The Buzz re the booking interface tool also vanished. Those 3 come immediately to mind, and there must be about 3000 posts just in there.

I am not sure if those with posts in such threads 'lost' those posts, who knows? I guess we did, and in the big picture of things, it is no big deal IMHO. :D

C'est la vie. ;)

Really?

I didn't hink so. Perhaps I don't understand? How so?

Thanks! :)

Well, SOMEBODY had to say it!
 

La vie.

There. I said it.

FWIW, my French, like my sense of humour apparently, is rather poor. ;)

Does "la vie" translate to English simply as "in life?"

Thanks! :)

if I translate it from french into swiss-german into swiss-english than it becomes something like:
* that's life' or 'that's the way it is, take it or leave it'.
