FullOppositeRudder, that's actually a separate issue. We have a script in place that runs twice a week to update the post counts. Sometimes it takes a few rounds to work its magic, but it usually does. If that issue is still occurring in a week, please drop me a line.
As that thread is gigantic (500+ pages), it is more prone to malfunction due to strain on the database. I'll recommend to the mods that they start a Mk II version of the thread (connecting back to the old one).
