Post counts

This might not be that important, but killergorilla posted this in a different thread and it's been bugging me

When off-topic threads are deleted, are they removed from people's post counts?I ask this because I've just searched to find all my posts (via my user profile) and though I've officially got 1,528 posts prior to this one the search only finds 1,441 (and I assume posts in private forums don't contribute to this total?).

Likewise, killergorilla's made 5,034 posts but only 4,586 are found.

So what's the answer to this one then?

i would think that manually deleted posts are no more available on board but the count remains.
if you want to check, look for the profile of the recent spammer who saw 6 out of his threads deleted recently: his posts number is still 7.

but the automatically deleted posts from OT section are subtracted from user's post number. that traditionally.

It's not removed from your postcount. Look at Mr spamhead he got 9 post on his postcount, all are in the OT section, but only 3 posts are here today

I will fix this problem soon, by not counting posts make into temporary offtopic area.
