Top posters?

[dmr]

Uh, you might wanna take a look at the Top 50 posters.

The first so many, at least when I view it, have an astronomical number of posts with some really bizarre dates in there! 🙂

Yes, my goal in life is to have more than 4 billion posts. Hey Stephen are you cooking the books again? LOL!

Is there an easy way to look at this statistic, dmr? Educate me please, as I am ignorant as to how.

Have a look at the member list and then sort by "posts", standard is "name".

 

[mfunnell]

Methinks some negative numbers have crept into the "number of posts" field of some member records. (Note for non-geeks: a small negative number in a "signed integer" field will look like a very BIG number if interpreted as an "unsigned integer".)

And, 467 pages x 30 members with zero posts!

And Jon is still in there at #12, if you take out the anomalies

A reminder of a very fine gentleman.

Very true ...

I don't take much notice of post counts since the count seems to arbitrarily reduce your count from time to time. When I first joined I, sadly and embarrassingly, got quite excited as I neared the 100 & 500 post marks. However my post count was taken down to nearly zero once, then reduced again another time.

I'm looking forward to the point where I have more photos in the gallery than posts in the forum 😀

With regard to the fine gentleman; he was hard to beat for contributing among many other worthy attributes

What I was referring to was the "Top" function which is on many vBulletin systems. On the main page, module jump on the left side of the screen, "Top" function.

Top posters has a number of entries like this:

I didn't realize that! That means I'm higher as far as thread starts than I was for total posts. I've been bouncing around the bottom of the top 50 posters for some time now, and I just noticed the other day that I got pushed off by those bogus entries with so many gazillion posts.

I stole from my Dad's secret collection. 😀

She was still a hottie.

It's a 9-way tie for first.

Hmmm.... Must be something special about that number.
