Post count has dropped on new forum

[phillyforager]

Hi All,

Quick question - I just started using this new forum recently, and I have been noticing that I am classified as "raw and unwashed". I used to have hundreds of posts on the old platform, and now my profile states that I have 88....

Anyone know why this is the case?

Thanks

@phillyforager hey man! Just a quick question:) did you used the password-reset mail we all had received? Or just started over again?

I see you have 206 posts and to change your rank, you must change it manually under your profile settings. Follow this link for information on how to do it: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/13151/how-do-i-change-my-profile-label/21

CHow do you get that popup window? Click on his username, and the profile page says only 89 posts:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/user/phillyforager
Or do you have a different post count on that page as well?

[goosehd]

@tody Following your link I have 206 as well.

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.

I see 206 posts too.

Weird - 89 for me.

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

Me as well..

Or am not spending any more money

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

...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

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.
