I was actually thinking of Siu when I wrote that.
Besides, I'm a geek. Totally different than a nerd.

I was too lazy to go back and get another link when I saw it was an amazon.ws link. I was hoping it would at least work for everybody for a few hours while the token was valid.

Big, popular threads have had problems loading when a lot of posts were deleted. The deleted posts cause phantom pages to appear because the server thinks the thread has more posts than it shows. If you ever see a thread that shows it has 300 pages but you can only get 299 of them to load, that's due to deleted posts.
If Pcad's posts were deleted, the vacuum would turn the universe inside out.

But yeah an nice "update posts values userid=<pcad's user number> where userid=168313;" would be fun, too... exact SQL depends on the backend DB, of course.
I was thinking deleting pcad posts would be the acid test of the system.

Pity you didn't provide instructions for people on Windows 7/Windows Vista.


Also, a reboot or a closing of all browsers and ipconfig /flushdns and/or wait an hour+ maybe required for some browsers.

Be easier to find the hard drives and wrap copper wire around them 1,000 times, then hook up a car battery.
