A Question About My Profile
« on: July 15, 2004, 07:16:56 AM »

This raised my curiosity and I had to check!!  The profile clearly lists 17 posts, but if one brings up the posts, there are actually 22 of them!  That really seems weird.

To solve the mystery, just be mindful of your posts as well as the totals.  ;)

Nope, I can't figure out the mystery either.
Maybe you have 17 posts in REGULAR time, and 21 in PARALLEL time.

Yeah, that must be it.   ;D

(Well, it's possible).

That's correct. It's not weird at all.

Is it that posts made on the Testing board don't count toward one's post totals?

Sally, I counted 5 of your posts that were made on the testing board.
22 - 5 = 17

Ohhhh yeah.  That must be it.  I remember reading something about that awhile back.

See?  That's why ProfStokes is the *Ingenious Intellect* and we're not.  lol

Apparently it went unnoticed that a cousin recently posted only once, and it was on this board, yet their posting total remained at 0.  ;)

Was it always that way or is this since the new setup?

The June 1st switch to the new system didn't introduce the feature. The ability to not count posts made on certain boards has always been a feature of both YaBB SP (our first) and YaBB SE (our second) - and it's still a feature in SMF (which is sort of a next-generation version of YaBB SE).

Leave it to Amanda to figure it out!! 8)  Smart thinking!!  ;) I'm always amazed at your intellect!!  I bet you get straight A's in school!! :D

Mystery Solved!!  ;) Thanks for clearing it up for me. 8) I MIGHT HAVE figured it out with the clue that Midnight gave earlier today!! ??? ::)

NAH!!!!   We're just bored.   :P  ROFL  (No...no...sorry....)
You sure like smileys, don't you!

PS  Did you know that the over-use of smileys is frowned upon in certain select circles???

No, Connie - I did not know that.  OK, I will not be so "smiley happy" in the future!!  Thanks for the heads up. :D

Sally, if you want to be smiley happy, go for it.  8)

There was a limit on smileys in the past-- it was 20, which was still a lot-- but there isn't right now.
