in my forum we have alot of threads like "post ur desktop" random pic thread and so on, and these are nothing but spam threads

and we have rewards for high post count and im sick of members spamming there way to hell just to get them

i would love LOVE to have a hack that i could make a thread have no post count, i know u can set a certain forum itself to not have any but i want to just be able to do it on a single thread (in the thread tools)


a bonus would be so that i could set old threads to not have any, and update the counters to remove ppls post count for that thread

thank you very much

Hmm... just a thought here.

i only started to work on VB3 yesterday but ill give it a shot.
add this query to your forum DB

ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD `countposts` INT(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';

go to functions_newpost.php find

		if ($foruminfo['countposts'])
		{
			$bbuserinfo['posts'] += 1;

REPLACE $bbuserinfo['posts'] += 1; with
$thrd = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM thread WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
if ($thrd['countposts'] !=0) { // Count posts incase the V is off
$bbuserinfo['posts'] += 1;
}

Scroll down a bit, and you'll see $doposts = 'posts = posts + 1,';
replace it with

if ($thrd['countposts'] !=0) { // Count posts incase the V is off
$doposts = 'posts = posts + 1,';
}

Now you have to add something like "Show Signature" in the thread to make it "UnPosts Count" or something like that.
As i said, im new at this, but this code will work (i hope)
