People who go for high post counts

[NickFitz]

Ah Crap - have you seen my post count now?

Have to admit though.... not in the slightest bit bothered

I'm looking forward to working my way back up, probably by posting links to all my "lunch from Fuzzy's" posts in TPD over here in General

Maybe the fact that you're posting about posting proves my point? Although this thread was obviously started at a higher level

What about the fact that you're posting about me posting about posting?

Or perhaps just show the person's post count for the particular forum in which a post resides. For example, if somebody posts in Technical, it could be some guide to the usefulness of their post to know that they've posted a lot there, as it implies that they might know what they're talking about. The fact that they've posted a lot in B&C or General adds no information of any value.

That would be a good idea - not sure how technically feasible it is though. IIRC, it's reasonably straightforward to determine whether a sub-board counts towards post count, but what you suggest is more complex than that.

Might be worth checking that out, though?

I believe vBulletin is written in PHP with the usual database backend (probably mySQL or Postgres) so it's probably just a case of adding a couple of queries and a few lines of PHP. On the other hand, it may not be advisable to modify the app as it could break on an upgrade, or even a maintenance release, but perhaps such a feature is available as a configuration option.

I'll go and read the docs...

Get on with indexing TPD instead.....
