What do the stars mean?

The Peregrine Chick:
Hey Saorise, it can also depend on when the database is in maintenance mode - it holds off on the recounts until it has finished its maintenance so that the count is correct.  When its finished it recounts everyones totals so you will never "lose" a post in your count unless I delete your post.  Does that help?

Saoirse:
BCBird, I appreciate your taking the time to answer this. It's not an important question really, because I'm not especially interested in the number of posts I make. Maybe I'm missing something obvious but it surprised me to notice that I posted once (say at 5 pm, just an example) and it showed, say, 170 posts. Then I posted again further down the same page and it still showed 170. As I say, it was a surprise that I didn't understand (still don't really!). I suspect some of these things will make more sense to me as I continue to participate in the forum.

bcbird:
Saoirse, the number is always the total number you have posted.  In all threads you will have the same number shown.  When you post again, all threads where you have previously posted will show the new total.

Saoirse:
Okay, I have a question related to the number of posts, rather than the number (or colour) of stars. . . Sometimes I have noticed that a couple of my posts have the same number (rather than increasing). Is there a reason for that, or is it just a glitch?

allikat:
And willmax has two gold stars!!
