Post count has dropped on new forum

I only have 29.2k. I could've sworn I had 29.3. I'd like to speak to the manager!

@goosehd said in Post count has dropped on new forum:

Your post count may be the way your old posts are counted and that many of them are former buy/sale ads which have been moved to admin/moderator areas of the forum.

This could explain why some people have gone from hundreds of posts to 3.

[goosehd]

...and does it really matter how many post counts we have when we should be focusing on the quality of our posts?

[AdamJ]

@jerkules Can you confirm that it's 89 posts missing or that's the total count you can see?

sorry - realised you're referring to above. We're looking in to this currently

[jerkules]

@AdamJ was chiming in that I could only see 89 posts when viewing @phillyforager ’s profile, while other members could see more.

What I don’t understand why points
Now

Have over 3.8K Post
I have 99 points

Really compromise should have given for those with the highest ranks.

Head start 1000 points for each year they last on forum

Make it sound like a game of call of duty

Been in old forum over 9 years
Am not gonna be chasing for points

Am me Mo

@Kasi points are linked directly to the amount of upvotes you have on this forum. It did not exist on the old platform and is completely separate from the post count issue

[Bums_Fan]

Jumping in late here, and not that it matters to me much, but I did see my post count drop 20 or so posts after my sales thread was locked. Again, not big deal and more of an observation on my part.

Yes.

@AdamJ

Thank you for the info on switching groups! It's odd that some people see over 200 posts on my profile, while I and others only see 89. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot....

[AdamJ]

As eluded to above, the discrepancy between post count is down to posts being moved and archived, such as sale posts once completed. As well as old threads that are archived.

We are working on a fix to reflect the "true" total irrespective of whether its live/archived posts.

[AdamJ]

We have now pushed a fix live for this, so you should see your total post count irrespective of whether posts have been archived or moved to locations you don't have permissions to view. Any issues let me know!
