This has now officially reached the point where I'm delighted with the Post Count script system exactly as it is.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Post Count issue
Yea, my e-mail for replying has gotten all messed up as I indicated to you earlier this week. I don't know if it will straighten itself out, or if I am going to have to delete that old e-mail altogether (the one I had for FFL in 2005, which has now reasserted its dominance and refuses to get pushed aside), or start over. The only plus is that I've learned about some of the behind the scenes details of e-mails and ID's that I hadn't been familiar with before. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Alex Stanley j_alexander_stanley@... wrote: I just sent several replies to posts, all sent from the web interface, and one of them showed up with my Yahoo ID instead of my name next to my email address.

I then replaced the PHP directory with the one from the Win2000 backup, and the script worked just fine. There was only one PHP call that had been deprecated that kept it from running with a newer PHP. I could fix that. I also worked on a Python version we could make available to any of the geeks here if they wanted to check the count at anytime with their email mbox. Problem was that Python doesn't quite spit out the elements of a message header as well as PHP does.
