ECF filters take it out, you only end up with something like http://......................com for a link. So don't worry about posting a site not allowed, it won't let you.

Thanks ya'll
I got my son a 3 pack of blues harmonicas and a harp holder. I like to buy gifts for my kids on my birfday as I have everything I need
That's a really cute idea. In fact I may just adopt it except with my grandchildren.

OMG that is just scary. Why so many? I only ask cause on Monday I was told they want to do surgery on my back. BUT the cant guarantee that it will fix it. I hear you on not being able to work. I was a workaholic and it sent me in a tail spin. Not knowing what to do with myself and all.
Good Morning ! Sorry I know how scary all that is too! I was also told they need to do surgery on my back but after the ordeal with my hands I am thinking NO! I hope you are able to be helped by it
Wow I feel awful for you that has got to be the hardest thing to deal with. Just like that in an instant everything changed. I am glad your here! But sorry for the circumstances
Good to know I always wondered how that worked! Now I don't have to worry!ECF filters take it out, you only end up with something like http://......................com for a link. So don't worry about posting a site not allowed, it won't let you.
How'd they do the other winners, by the way, was it the subsequent one's after 15mil, or were they going every 100 or something like that?
I mean wow vendors. All my favorites came out for this one. GG, Atmizoo, by Leo, Atmoxiani (sp?). Awesome stuff, I'll be here for 20 million if its anywhere as awesome!
It's strange when I Inspect Element the page it says the post counts are up to over 15,900,000. Does that count include deleted posts too or something I wonder?
I wonder how they determined the actual displayed 15 millionth then. Must have figured out the difference or something
Smokey Joe explained it a few pages back...

I don't know how they picked runner ups either, but heard a rumor that it was done by using an algorithm counting out from the 15mil post.

I don't know how they picked runner ups either, but heard a rumor that it was done by using an algorithm counting out from the 15mil post.
It was stated by SJ that it was approximated and then randomized from the approximate time. And yes, there are areas of the forum that were excluded, and deleted posts that didn't count.
It was all on the up and up, no silly stuff, but not an exact science.
I'm not proud of how much time I just spent on this, but I found the 15 millionth post as labeled by the site. I'M NOT TRYING TO DISCREDIT OR ARGUE ABOUT THE WINNER it was more of a scavenger hunt for me. Here it is Newbie rebuildable problem | Page 2 | E-Cigarette Forum . Browsed through the forum checking the inspect element on some pages to figure out it must have occured on January 10th, 2015. So I then went to the new members forum figuring that might be a good place to start since it's probably one of the most active I figured, and I guess I got lucky and stumbled on it. The post could have been anywhere on this site so I guess I'm really lucky considering there was 5000+ posts on January 10th, even though I must have checked close to 50 pages or more of posts on the 10th to find it. Still pretty cool to know that the 15 millionth post just blew by like any other mundane post. Maybe I'll try finding the 10,000,000th sometime... Still can't believe I found it though!!
By the way, you can tell that's the 15 millionth post if you look at the URL, or you can right click on the post and click "Inspect Element" and it's in there as well.

And SJ didn't really explain my discrepancy. He says the 15millionth post and runner ups are being taken from the prize thread and the rest of the forum. I was wondering what the 900,000 post difference was about since as you can see I found what the site code is at least calling the 15millionth on January 10, 2015. My guess again is that it's due to deleted comments or maybe something else besides posts in threads adds to that count as well. Either way congrats to the winners, I'm just bored and nerding it up..
Might want to consider giving this user a prize to if there's any left overs. Newbie rebuildable problem | Page 2 | E-Cigarette Forum He's I guess what the site labeled as the 15,000,000th post by however the URL and post identifiers are determined. As I was discussing above this is close to 900,000 different from the messages count in Forum Statistics of the 15million everyone was chasing. Might have spent a bit too much time trying to find that one, but I got lucky and stumbled on it. Just thought it was cool and might be a nice surprise for the guy if there is any room, since its a 15millionth post everyone can click on and see the 15,000,000.
I would guess that the number that you are seeing refers to the ID number assigned to the post in the database. This is different than an actual post count, as IDs may not be assigned sequentially or may not have started at zero. Also, as you noted in a subsequent post, deleted posts are assigned IDs; depending on the how the software is written, draft posts could also be issued IDs--and then stored or not depending on whether the draft is actually posted.
I wish I could contribute to this ultra nerdy debate, but I'm too busy picking up the bits and pieces of my brain off this roof from my mind being BLOWN!
Under the laws of E=MC^2 I am the winner. It's easy to see
