The rank is increased for comments in include/comment_post.php around line 330:
// increment user post if needed
$uid = $comment->getVar('com_uid');
if ($uid > 0 && false != $add_userpost) {
$member_handler =& xoops_gethandler('member');
$poster =& $member_handler->getUser($uid);
if (is_object($poster)) {
$member_handler->updateUserByField($poster, 'posts', $poster->getVar('posts') + 1);
}
}
Also in newbb/class/post.php around line 667.
I don't think it works for posting articles in News 1, the default News module that comes with the core.
When you view a user's profile is the post count high enough to go up a rank? Or is it just that they seem to have posted more than they've been credited with?
