So, on another forum, a couple of users suddenly show up as having a postcount of 16,777,215 posts, which isn’t really realistic. However, that number is equal to 2[sup]24[/sup] - 1, which seems to indicate something about the underlying problem – it might be some sort of rollover bug, or an otherwise invalid entry wherever those things are stored.
I know basically nothing about the particulars of phpBB, so I’d appreciate any responses regarding 1) what causes this bug, and 2) how to best fix it. Thanks in advance!
