Smit Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I just looked at the Todays Top10 Posters table and it looks like this: How come that guy has posted more then he has total posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jingles Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Probably because certain forums don't add to your postcount, but do add to Posts Today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Sorry to reply to your post without an answer, but I have noticed that if you reply to a post then your count goes up...but if you reply again to the same post it does not change. eg. this is post 275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 ....and this will be post 275. What??it's 276. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it mildly humiliating that I made that statement only to prove myself a liar. I estimate that I lost around 100 posts in my post count because of that.

insanekiwi Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 the postcount loss may happen due a server hickup which means it had to go back to a certain point in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Which forums don't count for post count? 586776972[/snapback] Not forums, threads in italics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted November 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2005 Not forums, threads in italics. 586779408[/snapback] Although you don't see the italics in a search or during "New / Active posts". You need to browse the forums to see which threads do not count towards your post count. Take a look in General Discussion, you should be able to find some threads whose titles are in italics.

.... Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 :D 0wned! 60 posts by Slimy in a day?:oo 586775573[/snapback] There was one person who had 1000 in a day. And no...I'm not going to tell you who.....course, that person was punished severely by the mighty hand of Neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Alright..I'll fill you in. It was not me. But nonetheless....do not do that. There is absolutely nothing to gain but a nice restriction if that is attempted nowadays. 100+ a day is freakin nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 200+ would be nuts. it doesn't take long until you reach 100 per day, especially if you post in software or hardware. see bangbang023 or me. and not it's not spam if you check the posts.
