phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

I experienced a rollover error in the post count. Here is how I did it:

* Create a new moderated forum
* Post in the forum with a user requiring moderation
* Moderator deletes the post, does not approve it
* Count of posts shows 16777214

Now, that another user has posted, and been moderated, the count is now 16777215.

Using "Resynchronise post counts" in the ACP does not reset the post count.

How does the mod delete the post? Clicking the X or via the MCP?

Are there any replies to the post? Is this post actually a topic?

The post was removed during moderation. Since the post was rejected.

Where never any replies to the post

make that:

There were never any replies to the post.

Is this the forum count or the global board count?

Could reproduce...

SVN snapshot of 09th July 2007 21:32 GMT+2
Default installation

Steps to reproduce:

Create new forum "test" in board's root (keep default settings for the forum).
Set permissions:
- All groups: Read Only Access
- then: Guests: On Moderation Queue
Set Moderator permissions:
- Administrators: Full Moderator
Post a message (=new topic) as Guest in the "test" forum.

Now:
for guest: 0 topics 0 posts
for admin: 1 topic 0 posts

View the post as admin and click on the "x" button (in viewtopic.php) to delete it.

Then:
for guest: 0 topics 16777215 posts "No posts" under "Last post"
for admin: 0 topics 16777215 posts "No posts"

The post count stays at 16777215 when new posts are made

The global post count seems to be correct...

You describe the scenario as I have done it... And it is only a forum count mismatch. Global count did not jump in excess of 16777214. But other then that I was not tracking the global count.
