The prize for getting the 10 millionth post should be the right to permaban another poster of your choosing.

opportunity. Or I'll just do a poll.

If I won I'd start a permaban countdown thread with a poll to choose the loser.

the 9m post was 10651965 wasnt it

within a 1000 posts now

right so is it going to be 11651965 or not?
or is there other things like binned threads etc that come into the equation?

 

[tar1984]

How do you know which post number it is?

 

[ddraig]

aaaargh i dunno for sure, do you? help!

just going with joustmaster's suggestion as when i tried to work it out it was prob wrong

 

[tar1984]

I can't see how. You can look at the bottom of the forum index and it tells you the total post number, but I don't know how to tie an individual post to the total post count.

 

[tar1984]

9,999,128 right now.

Just one?

 

[ddraig]

of course there is!
look at number of newest post and - whatever tis showing at the bottom now, then work out which will be the 10 million and should be sorted
agree?

what about this tar?
if you do new posts and look at the number of the latest one then it can be worked out no?

 

[wtfftw]

We just need to keep Valve posting.

 

[strung out]

the 10,000,000th post will be number 11,653,625. easy to find out.

[Steel Icarus]

"Forums" page.

click on the number to the top right of every post. the final number in the URL is the post number.

 

[toblerone3]

About 800 posts to go.

 

[tar1984]

"Forums" page.

I see that I wasn't sure how to match an individual post with the total count

click on the number to the top right of every post. the final number in the URL is the post number.

This explains it, thanks.

so basically, there are about one and a half million missing posts. blame fridgemagent for that one.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

actually, i'm lying there. back in the early days, posts had to be pruned all the time. all fridgemagnet did was wipe people's postcounts at the same time by accident iirc.

 

[strung out]

maths please!

i clicked on new posts and the forum list at the same time, then added the amount of posts we were away from 10 million to the post number of the most recent post. it was something like 11,652,825 + 800 i think.
