Life In 19x19

could not set gd posts to 9000

That's not a bug, that's a limitation. I had to pick some upper bound when I defined the field. I looked at Kirby's post number, tripled it, and rounded to the nearest thousand. That should be good enough for anybody.

But what if it's OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

On a related issue: You can't unset the post count any more. Leaving the field blank results in "0 posts" displayed.










<-- DEMO

It's time to reassess your priorities.

I think I can lay claim to the largest number and it worked okay for me. So I don't think there is a real limitation.

Ok, ok! I set it to 64,000. That ought to be enough for anybody.

Please, don't forget about being able to the value to empty again.

That's beyond my current skills. Fwiffo?

Sorry, I haven't had time to look into it. I might be able to do it manually by getting into the database; I think there's a phpbb bug that keeps users from blanking their own.

Actually, I think this is a bug in phpBB. The field is null in the database, so it shouldn't have shown up. But I hacked up the template as a workaround.

Awesome, thanks a lot. Especially since I know how much I hate hacking workarounds into a perfectly innocent piece of code just just to make up for some stupid library bug.
