What the hey?

How can a poster (Brick Road) have zero posts?

[lel]

To be ironic, this thread just came up on my screen as having 0 views. How can you post without seeing your own post and giving the thread 1 view?

In addition, I have no clue how someone posts with zero posts.

Well, I remember when I had over 2100 posts [sup]and I’m still pissed about that![/sup]

I remember having 200 once…

A database glitch. He posted, but his post count didn’t update. It happens occasionally with our server being so heavily taxed.

Now, the real question is: how can this kid have such a long sig line?

Oh, and off to ATMB.

Here’s what we say in the FAQ - technical issues:

Q: Why do I see a thread with no posts in it, or a poster with post count 0?
A: The Chicago Reader IS department says that due to the demands placed upon the server, the full set of database updates needed to successfully complete a thread/post creation gets interrupted, and so you may end up with inconsistent data in the database. Modifying the values of some database parameters might fix the problem but it also might make the board slower, so those parameters will not be changed (at least for now.)

Yep, sig files should not exceed four (4) lines and/or spaces, and I’ve just told him so.

As for the rest, yes, that was a glitch and should resolve.
