Negative PPD
How can I have negative posts per day? Especially when we are posting?

Re: Negative PPD
maybe you hid a whole lot of posts... or removed or deleted them...
Re: Negative PPD
None of the above.

Re: Negative PPD
There were several other graphs I came across (don't remember which) that showed negative numbers for no apparent reason.

Re: Negative PPD
PPD is negative every time a forum containing more posts than were sent last month is removed, temporarily unavailable or hidden....

Re: Negative PPD
Perhaps a user went through and deleted a bunch of their posts.

Re: Negative PPD
yeah.. and like i said, maybe some forums were made invisible, or accessible only to registered users. in such cases, i think the program would only read the number of posts that can be identified by an unregistered guest.
for instance, you could have a forum where the guest sees 30 new posts, a registered member sees 150 new posts, a citizen sees 300 new posts, and an admin sees 450 new posts. but the program will only show a PPD of 1 (from 30 new posts) instead of 5 (150) or 10 (300) or 15 (450). thats as far as i can tell judging from the talk with drspangle.
also, you could have moved a thread to a hidden forum, in which case those posts all dissappear.

Re: Negative PPD
Hi, yeah... This is why I did daily checks of the forums, could then see exactly when it dropped..
well, the forum logs http://mnforumlist.com/forumlogs.php?ID=204
say it dropped from over 1400 to under 1400 between 01/10 and 01/11
hmm
Didn't I say? I have daily backups of the index pages of every forum?
http://mnforumlist.com/saved_forums/nations/
unfortunately, due to backup speeds, I tar them all now, so i have to download, extract, check, etc
15/10: 1366 posts
10/10: 1409 posts
12/10: 1409 posts
13/10: 1412 posts
14/10: 1413 posts
so, somewhere between 14th of october and 15th of october, you lost 47 posts
and I can see here that the Library and the Scullery disappeared?
Deleted or hidden?

talk about big brother watching!
Re: Negative PPD
Neither, they are right here and here.
Granted they moved when I made an Arts Center category, but no posts were removed.

Re: Negative PPD
I figured it out. It was driving me mad for a moment. I went to the administrative panel for the Library and the Scullery. The view is set to 'everyone' and hidden is off. The only restrictions in place are that only registered users can post a poll or attachments.
But then, I'm always logged in when I access the boards. I checked them logged off and the Arts Center category didn't exist. For whatever reason when I created the category it restricted guests from viewing. That should probably fix the problem, no?
