They post, then they still have 0 post count?

Just curious, but how is this possible?

I'm guessing they posted in the classifieds section?

Troy set things up so that those posts aren't included in the post count tally.

I did not know that, is it the same for the show forum? http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,119602.0.html

That will be a question for Troy - but apparently so?

I explored a little bit & it appears random, my post count shows in the classifieds. It may not go up, but it shows & others show as well.

People posting from smart phones maybe? I do not have one, so that is just a guess.

Basically, the main discussion forums will add add to a post count. The "temporary" forums won't. This came about because we'd have people who only posted for sale ads (that end up deleted) having several hundred posts and when they finally would comment elsewhere people would look them up and only see a couple posts. It's also because, at one point, anyone could post anywhere and we had a group of people who couldn't help themselves from posting disparaging remarks in every for sale/want ad. Some people see a post count as a sign that you may have some knowledge - when in reality a lot of people with high post counts got them from the Off Topic or jokes forums. If I could have a separate post count for the tech sections I think it would be awesome! The post count by a member's name should always be visible.
