Some settings will probably be messed up. The same happened to me when I converted from phpBB.

Check that "Yes, posts in this forum should count towards user post counts" is ticked for all the forums you want it to be.

Quick way to make sure that's checked:

UPDATE `mybb_forums` SET `usepostcounts` = '1';

Then ACP > Tools & Maintenance > Cache Manager > forums > Rebuild.

Then run the recount and rebuild tools again, any joy??

Where do I update this 'usepostcounts' ?

Run that query in phpMyAdmin, should be in your host control panel somewhere.

That didn't help


@AJS.. I tried what you suggested too but they were all set to that already.

Found out part of my problem.. I was only clicking the "proceed" button in the rebuild and recount once and then going back b/c nothing happened.. i tried clicking many times then it went forward..

I now have

18,385 posts in 2,211 threads.

Thread count is correct but post count is not

---

haha now it says I have

21,830 posts in 2,211 threads.

some post counts say I have replies in threads with no replies.. and in general some forums say they have more posts than they should

---

This whole process is a mess lol

I've converted from forumotion to phpBB3 to MyBB

each time the post counts in each category/forum have changed

Next time have patience because it is running. Once you click the button you won't immediately see a new page because it has to run the script first in the background. You know that it's running by looking at the little spinner up in the topish of your browser or the progress bar, depending on your browser.

Ya I know but the spinner would stop.. so I'd have to click it about 10-20 times before it would actually run

Actually it is running. It has to run in multiple steps to prevent overloading the server and going over your PHP time limit. Each time you click Proceed its moving on to another "page" of data. However many you selected per page... I think it defaults to 500? Anyways, thats something I've been meaning to suggest to the Devs... take the autopaging system from the Merge Module and make it do that for Recount/Rebuild... along with telling the user where they're at in it.
