Good old Open Source

If it turns out that the post count of the poster is used in some mentalist way as part of the indexing of the posts in a thread, and that has resulted in poor indexing through post counts in L-R not incrementing, I'll laugh so much I'll piss my kidneys out.

Was typing my reply when you wrote that - honest

Invoice is in the post

This is, indeed, a quality suggestion.

The main downside would be that AtW will be chasing the important milestones now.

That's a very good point.

Maybe as a "test", moderators should allow LR posts to count again and see how that helps

I concur with your suggestion. As I'll then have >5000 posts, I'd like my title to become Andyw-like

Yeah, you are not notified what the problem was but I am. Too many DB connections, the DB server is struggling with TPD. Night is drawing in on the thread I am afraid. The executioner is donning his hood. The congregation will be asked to deliver the last rites...

There goes his pants.

As a suggestion, why not lock TPD for a few days to see how that affects performance.

Failing that, just ban atw!

I have a highly technical solution to this issue that will take approximately 2 minutes and completely resolve the problem:

Lock the old TPD and have sasguru start a new one.

I'm with you on this.

With DS23 posting away I can never bother reading previous pages anyway...
