What just happened? (postcount changes)
 

Last night, I rose past 700 posts and I was a too late Initiate. But now, I'm back on ~700 and I'm a monochrome Initiate? It's not that I care (quite frankly, I couldn't be bothered with posting to become a new Initiate — I just like to post a lot :laugh), because I only dropped about 10 posts. I was just wondering what happened? :\

Some of your posts were probably in threads that have just been moved into the Posting Games Forum. Posts there are not included in your postcount.

wow if thats teh case... u hade 700 posts just in games Winterkill? thats not good :laugh

It say's you're a "too late" now.
Wonder what happened..

Oh, threads are still being moved there.. Ok, thats good I guess.

It could also have been something being moved to the Trash Can, or some duplicate posts/threads being deleted.

Some of that was me merging a quadruple posting by you in the MS paint thread. The rest is probably what skal said.

It wasn't the quadruple post, no. I was aware of that. But thanks anyway guys, it doesn't really matter. XD

Oohhh that makes sense now; I was going to ask a question about that just now [was going to make a thread in this forum]. Alrighty, thanks for the information....but are most of the members aware of this fact [posting in the "Posting Games Forum" does not go towards postcount]? Maybe the admins/mods should make a sticky thread in that forum about it...o_o If there's already a sticky about this, I must have missed it :(

Post made in or moved to "Trash Can" and "Posting Games" do not contribute to your post count. If a moderator deletes a post or thread those posts are subtracted from your post count.

Well, it just happened again. I guess I posted something unnecessary? :/

Heck, your post average is rising ever so quickly and mines flopping like old celery.

I think that happenes when you open multiple windows and post very quickly. It happened to me wayyy back.

Yep.. that's what happens when you power post.. >_>

Tsk tsk.

I think I'm at like five per day. Haha.

I'm having this problem right now: Yesterday, when I checked, my post count was 1599, but now it says 1596 (Clearly, I'm over 1600). I didn't double post, post in the Games Forum, or have any in the Trash Can. Can someone help me with this?

Perhaps you posted in a thread that was moved to the Games section, the What had you just ate? thread was moved in there, and if you posted in it those posts would be automatically removed from your post count. Or some thread you posted in might have been moved to the Trash Can. Usually those are the reasons for losing posts.

^No, like I said before, I didn't post in any thread like that, and in my knowledge, none of them were moved.
Edit: Right now, there doesn't seem to be a problem, but I am a couple of posts behind. :shrug Hope it doesn't go down again.

You can go into your profile and click 'Find all posts by chibi_sunny' to see where you posted in - I had a look before I posted and I noticed you had posted in the What had you just ate? thread a couple of weeks ago, so that's part of it at least :yes You could check how many times you posted in a thread by hovering your cursor over the little folder image next to a thread title in a forum - it will tell you how many times you have posted in a thread. Another reason could be double posts - because of the server, people have made some double posts without realising it, a mod might have come along and merged them or deleted them. Sometimes it's just something you might not be aware of :)

^ Wow, that was so long ago though! But thank you for your help and tips. I hope that's the reason why my post count messed up at least. Now that I think about it, I had some problems with posting lately (maybe resulting in double posts), but I usually go back to see to check if there are doubles. My post folder didn't show any double posts either.
Thanks again.
