post count frozen
 

I just noticed today. My post count seems to be frozen. I'm not counting multiple posts in the same thread or OMNI posts.

?? What's going on? How to fix?

I noticed the same thing, AND....
 

Not only is the post count frozen, but when I did post, it added old/obsolete info from my "interests" along the left-hand side.

I'm waiting to earn enough status to have a "signature"; I know that that takes 90 days and 90 posts. I have the 90 days; I don't have the 90 posts yet. That's why I pay attention to the post count!

So, in order to tell folks my upgrade percentage, I keep that listed in my "interests". I updated it from 14/14 to 15/15 sometime last week, but the post I wrote yesterday still had the 14/14 on it.

Help get me my signature!!

Thanks!

Well, the Post-count incremented....
 

...(hey, I'm really *not* trying to pad my posts, but I noticed....) that while the post count incremented on the above post, the "interest" info remains the same.

I don't pay much attention any more (too depressing to think how much time 9K+ posts represent) but I think my counter might be stuck as well. I am going to watch more closly for a while to be sure.


Edited to add:

Are you sure you really updated it last week? I only ask because I know it's a mistake I might make.

RE: Interests
 

...heck, I checked again this morning, before I wrote the above post. Yep, it says I've been upgraded 15/15 times, but as you see to the left here, it's just reporting the 14/14.

Maybe it doesn't believe you? ;) :D

ETA:
I used this post as a check. My post counter is (back to) working.

In the case of OMNI posts, there's nothing to fix. OMNI posts do not contribute to your post total.

I believe that was the point being made. I read that to mean the OP's post count was not increasing in forums other than OMNI.

What are the "interests" that you're talking about? I use a lot of ....... filters in FireFox, so is there something new I'm missing?

The "interests" option in the user profile.

negs's reads "2010 Upgrades: 14/14 (100%)"

The problem, it seems, is that is apparently last week's version. As I understand it, the more recently entered info (15/15 upgrades) will not display.

oklAAhoma, you've got it exactly right.

Um, what's an OMNI post? O.K., I'll go look it up after I type this, but still, I'm not used to that term on FT!!

I found the problem....
 

I found the problem! I had put the "15/15 in my "Interests". As it turns out, the "Interests" are NOT displayed with posts. (You apparently have to look at a users public profile to see them.)

I had the "14/14" in "Program Affiliations". I changed that to read "15/15" and viola! all is well.....

...post count incrementing again as it should, and I can show the world my upgrade success!

I see this in negs' profile under "About Me" but nothing I can see anywhere is there something called "interests". Odd, unless those are the same.
