I think the most significant bit experienced a data error in my post count. Somehow I ended up with binary number
1-10111111 (-8,383) instead of
0-10111111 (8,383)

This might be a technical error, or an error of another type.

I noticed this a few days ago, I assumed it was the admins/forum techs having a joke, but that is so not right.

I'd lean towards what StrikeEagle said.

I mean post count total shouldn't matter.

Right?

LOL
That's not even CLOSE to how signed numbers work on a computer, just an FYI

I dunno. I work with extremly low level digital electronics alot. Alot of technical problems deal with a intermittant fault in a transisor causing a bit to be set. the +/- signing bit is usually a MSB

FYI, we can change your post count to any number or add negatives, and MAYBE even decimals. So, it could of been an Admin or Supermod that is playing a joke on you sir.

..... haha.gif i think he knows that, DTN just figured he would make another post/thread full of useless garble.. which is why i believe his post count is in the negative range.

Oooh ooh! ooh ooh mememe! Can I get a .27 added to the end of my post count? laugh.gif

Can I get it fixed please?

^^^
I tried, it doesn't stick.

FYI, I try to look at the best possible option, because otherwise someone is taking a cheap stab at me.

I'll check Admin CP later once I get off work, but I can't promise anything if Redz can't get it to work.

DTN, only way I could fix your problem is to re-set your post count. But your not in the negatives anymore.

Waiting for responses to this...

First post!

Sorry man, wish I could of done it without resetting your stuff.

Please set it back.

ROFL.. my day was so shitty.. now im LOL'ing. lmao.gif lmao.gif lmao.gif

Umm..once reset, its done. I can reset again to 0?

I thought this would be better than you having to climb up from NEGATIVE 8000...

yeah, um... maybe I should PM supercow, better yet, I can give you step by step directions from my copy of IPB?

lol.. lmao.gif lmao.gif

i vote NO!!!! owned.gif owned.gif

nevermind. it's expired.

DTN, supercow is the one who showed me how to re-set post costs.

Okay, Joke over, I'll let you sleep at night. Stop pacing through out your living room.

I really don't know how your post count got a " - " tho...

pssht... i wasn't pacing around my living room.... What do you take me for? I was about to throw my laptop through the window of this 1.8L turbo wagon passat I'm troubleshooting a TCM issue in.

LOL.. rigghtt. lmao.gif

Alright post whores. We had a little fun and everything is fine. This will now be closed, no need to cause trouble.
