unfortunately, what spam sees is what I see.

[quote="Nanite";p="92312"]Aww the list is still on the archive site but the post counts are gone. I also get the same list as Spam when I sort by total posts. Just for grins I sorted by points. Damn Kilaak hackers are up there.[/quote]

If you click on their name on the old one it shows their post count.

Stevo was first with 9514
Tenth was FragFailure with 4219

Looking at it - I bet it is related to permissions. The issue is for some people, they have made their profile private and all I see as a post count is "NULL". I bet Admins see their actual post count.

Since even if your profile is private I see your "Points", that would be why sorting on points works properly but sorting on posts doesn't.

Sorting NULL in an array in some languages, like in perl, can cause that array to be treated like a string and not a numerical value.

The only real way to fix this would be to force the sort function to be nummeric.

Make sense ?

Ok - I see a variable:

1 StrontiumDog 6598 Site Admin
2 Offline l3eeron 5761 Server Admin
3 Offline DeafOfficeWorker 4674 Server Admin
4 Offline sgt stutter 3060 Site Admin

Are you guys seeing a slightly different view of the board because you're admins ??

Can one of you try it with a test account and see what happens ?

Or you can make me a site admin and we can see if that fixes it for me :wink: :shock: :roll: :D

Why do people derail EVERY thread I start around here ????

:-)

So, back to the original issue - can we get the link I mentioned fixed.

I'm willing to help fix it ... i would just need to see the source for that PHP page so I can see it pre-processed.

Sadly it doesn't work that way.
It is PHP but a bunch of code is scattered all over the place.
It isn't broken because it works for us. It's a permissions issue.

Let me look at the PCP definitions and I'll check if they have been set correctly.
These entire boards are governed by PCP and it is a pain to get working properly at times.

Dog,

It's not a big deal if it's that much of a pain in the rear end to fix. Don't worry about it.
