URL to your eFiction: http://nsync-fiction.com/ (Specific user page: http://nsync-fiction.com/viewuser.php?uid=1823 )
Version of eFiction: 3.5.1
Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: No
Version of PHP: 5.2.15
Version of MySQL: 5.1.52
Have you searched for your problem: Yes
If so, what terms did you try: moving stories between users, negative story count, user story count, etc
Do you have a test account for us? No, but I could try to make one if it's needed.

Hi, I had a user who wanted to change her username without losing all of her reviews and stories. So I had her create her new username and I moved all of her stories to her new account in the Admin section and then deleted the old account. She has about 30 stories but her story count shows it as -1. Is there any way to refresh her story count so it shows the right stats? I just recently took over the admin duties here and I'm still learning EFIction so bear with me. Thanks!

Admins can actually edit profiles and change usernames, in case it comes up again. Have you tried recalculating the stats in Admin > Archive Maintenance?

I haven't done that because I wasn't sure if it would effect the top tens lists and and read counts. I don't want a riot on my hands haha. Do you know if those things will be effected?

It will only change the stats that need to be changed - ones that would be inaccurate anyway.
