Description: This is really JustDave's Genius. I'm just reposting to keep it current as it's so useful. Over time the Count in the w3t_Boards table of posts/replies can get off. This utility will update and fix it.

[]DLWebmaestro said: I run this, as well as the checklastpost, as cron jobs. Very handy! [/]
REALLY?? uhhh, could you post what you're doing here? I've always wanted to run that automated. How're you getting the checkpostcount to automatically update the corrected numbers?
On a side note, Why does it get way off the mark to begin with? Seems to occur mostly when moving posts.
I just took out some code so that it queries and changes the database without user intervention. I could have done a better job of cleaning out more unneccesary stuff, but it still works.
