Post Count Question


Recommended Posts

Just a brief question as I am new to this site... I noticed when I went and looked at my own profile that it says I have made 2 posts (this is my first on the actual forums), I also made a comment on one of the news articles.

Anyway the question is simple, do comments made on news articles actually count towards post count, or is that just a glitch? Although I am familiar with IPB as I have worked on it before, I have always worked with MKPortal so I have no knowledge how Neowin's custom thingy works.

Cheers

The answer is just as simple: yes :)

Good question. I have no clue, but I would guess yes.

Reason I am guessing yes is if you look under your name, you can view your posts, and there is indeed only the one that is showing.

Also, I just went ahead and replied in a news story to triple check, and yep, my post count went up by 1. I truly never knew this.

EDIT - And I was already beaten to the answer because I had to test it. :laugh:

Don't you guys discuss these things internally before they get implemented? :p

Sometimes, occasionally it's just within the Dev group, sometimes its Devs, Supers and Admins, sometimes it's everyone. This was written in a LONG time ago though, it's not surprising that some people don't know it.

It was probably discussed 5+ years ago. Now it is either taken for granted or unknown depending on which staff members you talk to (and how long in the tooth they are).
