The post count only updates when someone edits or posts in a thread, just like the rest of the topic
That's not the behavior I'm seeing. I can look at posts for this same member (as above) that are months old with no edits or updates since, and it shows posts over 1000.
So is this a cache issue?
Also, I'm seeing discrepancies in the actual counts. I get one number if I count them manually (programatically, by reading all the posts and counting per user). The post count that shows in their posts is another number, and the number of entries that shows up in their [membernumber].cgi (in Membersuser_posts)is another number still.
I assume that post count does not take deleted posts into consideration, but it still seems there is something amiss here.
I don't see any explanation of what is counted and what isn't in the documentation, can someone explain exactly what the post count is telling me? And why I see a different count in the post, the "user_posts" records, and the actual posts themselves?
