Great Plugin

Thanks for making this, I was not sure how to get rid of the pesky leftover pagination after deleting spam... I just left it and forgot about it until now :)

I know you like to make your own icons but I made you one anyway just because...

    @hgtonight: Yes thanx for the plugin. I recently cleaned all the Demos of VanillaSkins with it. Works great.

    I just found one Achilles' heel, i think it doesn't work setting back the count when only tags and not categories are used. But this should probably be handled by another plugin instead. Don't know from the logic what is smart.

    Thanx again!

    I'm very familiar with the Ilias and the Odyssey but i haven't thought of extending it to the present... my bad english might excuse me if it sounded offensive. ;)

    Do you mean it does not reset the counts of tags? I will look into it.

    Stop, Na, No. ;)

    I meant if you deactivate Categories in tha backend and just work with Tags following happens.

    You probably had a Spam intrusion with a lot of discussions created. Then you have several sites in the pagination as well. If you batch delete the spammers entries for ecample with BulkEdit, the pagination still shows the same amount of numbers.

    In this example Refresh Counts doesn't set back the nunber of pages. It does when the forum is used with categories.

    I just thought sone people could use their forum only with tags. Dunno?!

    @phreak

    It looks like the root category is used for discussions when categories are not in use. Updated the plugin to work in this case. Tag counts are a separate beast. I went ahead and added a refresh counts button for that too.

    Slightly off topic: Removing spam accounts doesn't use the models (which is definitely going to be faster) which is why the denormalized counts get out of sync. This means comments can be orphaned when a user's discussions are removed wholesale.

    I am thinking of a 'database orphan killer' plugin and was thinking this current plugin should be in there too. Thoughts?
