No, that's in the statistics section at the bottom of the forum index, it's somehow stored that number in the DB for number of posts in that forum. I know guests can post and we can't see them till they're moderated, but well over 16 million is slightly excessive.

It's due to the way numbers are stored in a computer. Whenever a post is moved from the 'Have your say' section it, for some reason, takes two off of the number of posts, and instead of showing a minus number, it loops round to 16777215 (the maximum for a 3 byte, unsigned integer), and then continues to take away. Basically it's an error that's going to have to be rectified at some point.

Blooming computers! Mind you they say that programmes are only as good as the person who wrote them.

It's been fixed in the forum software, it'll be corrected when I upload the next release. Until then, you can all just wonder what those sixteen million posts are all about.

Everyone defending Chris from rumours about him being a bully and a homophobe?
