Why has my Post Count been lowered by a 100 or so?

[TheInfinityZero]

It seems to have happened in the switch. Did this happen to anyone else also?

It makes people not trust me as being a loyal PIFer here.

Also, I can't Edit my SN Transition Thread...

My guess is that, during the switch over, certain sections of the forums were set to not be included in post counts.
And that, any posts that were previously made in those sections, were deducted from your post count number.

Don't quote me on that, though ;)

Mine's five
It's still five
It won't change from five no matter how hard I try when yesterday I had 30 or so posts.

I'll quote you on that! During the switch over, certain sections of the forums were set to not be included in post counts. Any posts that were previously made in those sections, were deducted from your post count number.

[bretty309]

which sections don't count towards post count?

[MoB TGnome]

My guess would be general section.

Which makes me feel good because I only lost 60 post ;) When some lost hundreds.

QUALITY POST GOD! < Pure jokes.

[DragonacheKing99]

I've dropped an entire level but only like 30 posts. :)

When some lost hundreds.


Indeed :P

But its good this way, this is what I have been hoping for a little while now.

I think it excludes Games and Stories or whatever, and most of the misc. forums at the bottom of the page.

I believe the 3 forums that don't count are:

Games and Stories
Contests and Giveaways
Viva Pinata Roleplay

FK was the Games & Stories just changed during the update? Because if it was already changed then I think there might be another one. But otherwise that would explain the high loss-age.

I would very much assume so, since it has a bunch of games that can have two people wasting a few pages with eachother.

Why, thank you...*Feels...erm...quoted*

[TheInfinityZero]

That doesn't explain my second question.

[Tauron]

Jim made it so that you cannot edit your posts after 30 minutes. This helps stops Spammers who let a thread filter down to the bottom and then later replace their post with a bunch of dirty links or something

[TheInfinityZero]

*thank you, MOD - who decided to delete the posts that had come after this*

Threads like those need to be able to be udpated frequently, though.

Don't feel bad, TIZ. I got lower but don't mind it...but...It doesn't look to be changing at any time soon....Even this post didn't count! HAHA!!:D
