gevans Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 There seem to be something wrong with user post numbers (I'm guessing this is an SMF issue, not phpf). If you take a look at http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/profile/?area=summary;u=104066 you should see a total post count of 1, but if you look closer there are actually 5 or 6 posts made by this member. EDIT: it now looks like a count of 4 in his summary, and 9 in http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/profile/?area=showposts;u=104066 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/217364-user-post-numbers-wrong/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Not every forum section is setup up to add to the post count. This is to help prevent members from posting nonsense just to increase their post count.

gevans Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 I see, was not aware of that. Surely most users using the forum responsibly know that post count does not equal skill/competancy?

.josh Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I see, was not aware of that. Surely most users using the forum responsibly know that post count does not equal skill/competancy? You would think so... but unfortunately that's not usually the case. It's really easy to assume that someone with 10k posts on a help forum might be worth listening to.

salathe Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Just look at my post count, of course count does not correlate with skill! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/217364-user-post-numbers-wrong/#findComment-1128716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Not every forum section is setup up to add to the post count. This is to help prevent members from posting nonsense just to increase their post count. The only such forums are the introduction board and deleted posts, by the way.

.josh Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I thought Misc. forum also fell under that...has that been changed? edit: Well I just made a post in Misc and it did inc my post count...but I'm pretty sure at one point in time it wasn't like that.

Mchl Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 So the post count is now visible to all? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/217364-user-post-numbers-wrong/#findComment-1129011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 post count has always been visible to all. But depending on your rank, it may only show up in the user profile, not on posts.
