More findings!
I am hurriedly trying to get this sorted but the 'thul beings' posts, and others, seem to check out so don't appear to have been deleted anywhere. They still exist and can be read, responded to etc. There is something interesting that I noticed regarding the number of non-vampire/vamparism-related posts the 'thul beings had made in the 'What are you reading right now?' thread prior to the split though. I have counted 73, and this number cannot possibly be mere coincidence.
So, it appears (to my limited knowledge) that while no posts were actually deleted during the splitting process, somehow the number of non-vampire/vamparism-related posts made by the 'thul beings prior to the split have possibly been taken off their personal total but not that of the forum total. I'd not have thought such a thing was possible...it sounds mysteriously odd but there you have it. If any number should have been deleted, I'd have thought it would be the total of posts for the entire original thread. It's almost as though the two split threads are both being treated as new threads, and the 'What are you reding right now?' one has clicked back to begin from a zero count for everyone personally, though not as a forum.
Will keep digging, especially as it wasn't the first, or last, thread I'd ever split, and this has never happened before....
It appears likely that all non-vampire/vamparism-related post totals from that thread, prior to the split, have been taken off personal counts. I know for a fact that Nuytsia had reached 1008 posts by August 6th and only now has 1021 to her name...and she has made many more than 13 posts since then!!! This being the case, I can only surmise that we have all been shafted. Pft! So much for my own count being accurate...crikey!
Have PMed Mervi and hope she can find the cause/fix.
Tsk! I just KNEW that something was going to happen when I decided to split the most popular thread on here...that's why I was so worried and made a copy prior to splitting. The irony is that it seems my making of the copy and then deleting the other thread that is the cause of the problem and not the splitting itself...so, it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy that was fulfilled because I acted to prevent it!
My apologies to you all.
And thanks to you, 'thul beings, for keeping such a close eye on your count. We'd never have known otherwise!
