For the second time in about a day I've noticed a newish member with relatively few posts (16 in one case, 4 in another) and clicked on their "Find all posts by..." listing to see what they'd actually posted.

Both times, the resulting search brought up one more post than the count showed: 17 and 5 respectively.

I tried the same thing with my own post count. Before posting this, the message to the left of my previous posts says "Posts: 490 (SuperPoster!)" and my profile page ("Mini Statistics" at upper right) says "Total Posts 490". When I click on the "Statistics" tab I also see "Total Posts: 490" but when I click "Find all posts by Fool Zero" the blue bar says "Showing results 1 to 25 of 486".

I dread becoming a Grand Member because I've never been very good at delusions of grandeur.

For posts, sometimes it takes time for the server to catch up and update the post count. Otherwise, the post count can vary because of some issues - some members post to threads that are then deleted, or posts are removed due to Community Guideline rules, and the post count may or may not change as a result.

Blame it on technical stuff I can't explain if my life depended on it.

Post counts will not always be exactly the same for technical reasons. Sorry about that, but it's just one of those things...

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
