Count of comments problem (billions of comments)

[Mello]

Hi everybody,

I just got my weblog running and I'm quite fond of serendipity. My problem is that the count of comments is erronous, somehow, overnight, I got billions of responses according to the count. But no comment is shown except the ones I did myself.
This is the problem to only 1 (of 3) of the entries I've made: http://130.89.172.100/blog/index.php?/a ... eblog.html

Anyone knows what's going wrong? Or is this a bug reported earlier (I can't find it though).

Thanks in advance,
Mello

Hi!

Sadly this was a bug when deleting a moderated comment, which could lead to a comment counter being decreased from 0 and thus "overflowing".

This has been fixed in 1.0-beta releases; you can fix the mistake if you have database access (like phpMyAdmin) by just editing your serendipity_entries table and correcting the number in the column "comments" for the corresponding entry.

HTH,
Garvin
