Negative forum post count

I've only noticed it for liamdawe's profile but it seems that you can break the forum post count and have a negative number attached to it (probably posted more than the counter support). Not a big issue but I figured that it was still useful to report ^^

Well, if that's in fact due to you posting more than the maximum number : congratz ! :D

Overflow ! That's the word I was searching for ! xD

So the question now is : what type of variable is it and at which point is it overflowing ?

Quoting: Nyapprobably a 1 byte integer lol

You can't represent -693 with a single byte so I really don't think that's it. And I highly doubt Liam has made 32k forum posts so it's likely his code being weird as usual. :P

It's likely a problem with the deleting forum post code somewhere that doesn't add up things correctly.
