Hey Patrick, found a bug

[Michael B]

I update my profile (changed age, didn't change anything else) and it reset the "number of posts" back to zero.

The counter is correct now...something (your date change routine or archive routine, something???) reset it.

I noticed the same thing when I reset my age about two weeks ago, but then when I looked at my profile in a new post it showed the correct number of posts.  It only seems to show the zero post thing when you view your profile after editing it.

As a fellow web developer I just had to say that.

You must be a Microsoft kinda guy... It gets beat into us over the years as we "fix" these undocumented features...

I don't have all those silly letters after my name :-)....I'm a mainframe assembler kind of guy. Hey, let's see if this posts resets the counter back to a good number, like Iswote said it would.....well, no, it didn't even go from 0 to 1...maybe after midnight or next time he does a back up or archive it will....or maybe I'll always be stuck at zero (ooouh, that's scary)

When I look at your profile it shows you have 664 posts.

Last time I remember someone having that many post was hounddoggy, back in the day when I was checking this web site out for info while dating my future wife. That was back before he got kicked off, Junfan had just got married, before that one latina talked a bunch of smack and got kicked off too, Evan had just started looking and found a Peruvian lady, and right before I got to know Red clay........ahhh the good ole days.... i have to say it was intresting reading back then, and still is sometimes

Must be some routine that resets the counters at midnight or something like that

any of you assembler kinda guys were left... Careful who ya tell, they might wanna put you in the Smithsonian (grin)... I remember having to do assembler, in college, 900 years ago... Actually, there are so few people doing assembler these days you probably knock down pretty good bucks...

In the Microsoft world, you gotta have the certifications to separate the wheat from the chaff... Too many people can talk the talk, but when it comes to walking the walk, the certs help... The certs also mean $$$ when negotiating contracts...

Good Luck Buddy...

There are so few places using it anymore. I dunno, maybe one day I'll take a class or two and get some of my own letters.
