...you know, the number of posts made in the forums by each author/member. If I remember correctly, it displayed automatically or could be found somewhere. Now I can't find it anywhere, nor any relevant setting to force it to be displayed.
Maybe that relates to another recent change to forum profile settings: title. I used to have my title set to Roadrunner, then it disappeared, and I had to re-enter it in my settings. So it seems the the forum system has arbitrarily dropped certain old settings (cause unknown). Or... I've changed browsers recently, could that be the cause? Now running Firefox 3.6.17, or sometimes Firefox 4.0.1_portable.

The post count is in the mouse-over (hover) on the magnifying glass below the user info on the left side.

Thanks. I would never have found it under those strange little heiroglyphics. Why do they make it a mystery to find? Why not just print it in plain text, in open view, for everyone to see automatically? It wouldn't cause a significantly larger panel for the user info at the left.
P.S. I see now why the title maybe disappeared(???). It does not appear automatically in the blank space when editing profile, so it might need to be retyped each time that any trivial profile change is made. Surely it should stick until changed specifically!?Last edited by JohnnyBob; 22nd May 2011 at 10:15.

Quantity does not equate to quality.
Personally, I could not give a hoot as to how many posts I have made. I belong to another forum, which is well-designed, and if I need to see my post-count I would have to navigate in to a profile page. Atleast here one can see it with relative ease. -
True, that's possible, but usually those with <5 posts are not very knowledgable.

In the past, we had problems with 'post whores' who made posts with no real content just to show increased numbers to brag about. This was disruptive and the often one word posts did not contribute to the forums. The post count display was changed then. Then we switched over to VBulletin from the previous PhpBB forum software and the method of display we use now was adopted. There is also no longer a page listing post numbers for all members.

I don't recall seeing many one word posts, and can't imagine that being a real problem. Brag to who? More important IMO to serve the regular members, making it easiest to see and find info.

The posts were probably deleted along with the 'post whores' who created them.
But I really do not understand this 'treat differently' idea. 'pw's' excepted, people come on here because they want help - we possibly all made our first post(s) for that very reason. If no one was prepared to help simply because one did not have the credentials, ie making a few meaningful posts, then the whole rationale behind the forum would colapse. -
That "post whore" business was before your join date, and the changeover was prior to it as well, if I'm not much mistaken. Most members seemed to think at the time that it was a change for the better. Not that it was ever voted on or polled.
Anyway, just hover your mouse over the magnifying glass. Not that big a deal, is it?Pull! Bang! Darn! -

I just received an email notice that DB83 replied to this thread, then I come here and there's no post -- presumably deleted, but by whom? I don't see anything controversial so don't understand. The idea of hiding the number of posts from visitors never was a big issue to me. I don't care. But I think it would be more helpful to show it because its an indication of prior activity. More active folks are likely to be more knowledgable. But I seldom come here anymore, so what do I know?
-
I can't see any deleted post.
What did DB83 write? It should be in the email.
And I have 39434908309 posts but I have no video editing/filtering knowledge. -
I don't know. The D83 notice disappeared from my computer. No idea.
I get weekly updates, if that's any clue(?). -
Ordinarily, I'd say that a spambot probably posted, and maybe DB83 wrote a comment pointing out that it was a spambot, or something similar. But if Baldrick hasn't seen it... maybe johns0 or redwudz handled it.

Someone mention my name ?
Yes. I did contribute to this thread. The post was 5 years ago and is still here. I have not posted here since then.
