The counter is updated either every day or every few days.
If you repost to a certain thread, the number on the previous post in that thread will be updated. Otherwise, it is updated fairly frequently, though not necessarily when you post.
BTW, on your 30th post you will change to
member status.
And, BB, now I see where you hang out! Thanks for the warm welcome when I first posted! Haven't seen you 'round much!
Referring to me or BlondeBomber?
