    Re: [RESOLVED] Forum Help - Thread/Post Storage

    If you are just fetching a list of threads you do not need a relational link to the posts table. If you want to count the number of posts in the thread you'd need to link up with the table and consequently deal with more records.

    Assuming anyone actually replies to the thread.

    Actually, you're right. I wasn't thinking, but you would need a predicate to count the replies. I suppose my logic only makes sense if each thread had its own table of replies, which would be idiocy.

    I'm sure dclamp can reply to his own threads.
