When I go to my Profile site, under "Mini Statistics" it shows 269 posts.

I just noticed when I went into "Statistics - Find Posts By Shrink" it indicates 308 posts.

How come!! :confused:

Posting in certain sub forums, like PRSI for instance, does not count towards your 'official' post count used to determine things like access to Marketplace or the ability to have an avatar.

Thanks, mate.:D

So, I guess it doesn't pay to spam in PRSI just to get my post count up. :rolleyes: ;)

Both numbers are the same in my profile and I post in PRSI quite a bit.

If you posted to a thread that was moved to the Wasteland or deleted, those posts will be removed from your total. Individual posts deleted by moderators are also excluded from your post count.

Posts made to the Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum, the Console Games forum, the Code Sharing and Software Promos forum, and the Marketplace forum are not counted.

If your post count reaches a total that entitles you to a new forum privilege, such as uploading and avatar or using the Marketplace forum, the new privilege may not take effect immediately. It will work by the following day at the latest.

In addition to the other comments, if you post in a thread that ends up in Wasteland, those posts won't show in your post count on your profile, but will show in your "Find Posts by..." count.
