Title: Post Counts
Post by: moka on May 20, 2011, 17:13

Tracy, my number of posts always reads 239, is this normal? I just checked and had two posts that read 240 in early May.

The only posts that don't count toward a person's total post count are those in Daily Chatter and you aren't a member there so unless the post was removed, all posts should count.  When I get a chance I'll check to make sure our post count settings haven't been changed by recent updates - don't think so but I'll check.  If it has, I'll update the settings and get the system to "recount" everyone's posts.

Thanks for asking about this Moka ...

What is the importance of post counts? I post on info I have on a site or a sincere response to another post other than just a smiley or whatever.

The post counts move folks from egg to chick to fledgling etc.  Its very common on Forums to track posts, lots of folks (particularly ones that are around for a long time) like to know how many times they have posted.  I know that when I first started visiting forums and didn't know what I was doing, I would ask folks who had posted alot figuring they would know what was going on :)

Thanks, TPC.  That does help us when we're newbies.
LinderLou, I get what you're saying -- it's not about increasing your number of posts.   :)

I'm traditionally a low count person, I hope to break 800 this year and I'm a first week forum member! (I'm moving toward being an old bird fast enough on my own thank you very much!)

I believe TPC said the posts in Chatters don't add to the count.

They don't.  They used to but Chatters gets cleaned out at least once a year and it was somewhat painful for members to watch their post counts go down when it did.  So, posts in Chatters do not count toward your total.
