I lost over 2000 so far....

I have now realized that it's not the size of your post ccount that matters, it's having a autosensor named after you that makes you unique

THe wierd thing is that they're disappearing without any posting going on.  I posted the word "testes" here earlier.  After that I had 1964 posts.  I come back a few hours later and I'm down to 1960 ??? :dizzy:

Yeah, that happened the last time too. You apparently don't have to be signed in at all or posting for this to happen.  Last time quite a few people, myself included, signed off or stopped posting and came back to lower post counts.   I think its a ghost  :notworthy:

I don't think Saint really knows.  It seems to have affected a lot of high post people last time, but a few people in the 100-300 range were affected too.  I guess its just easier to tell you lost 5000 posts like some guys compared to 10 heh

Just a random thought - since it doesn't seem to be related to people *posting*, but people endowed with large post counts appear to be suffering the most, perhaps there is some kind of problem with post *viewing*? That would explain why hundreds of posts drop off the count when the recipient themselves have taken little action.   ???

Unless it has to to with others viewing MY posts, then I can wholeheartedly say it's a definite "NO" on that one, jbox.

I've been logged into BYOAC 4 times today for mebbe an hour or less total time, and I've always lost posts during the time during which I'm not only not logged in, but completely offline, and not even inside my house.

I've lost 1500+ thus far, and about 200 since the last time I was logged in.

That was what I was thinking, each time someone views a thread with you in it your profile is obviously accessed to fetch all that other crud to put around your post. Hence, even while you are *not* logged on there is a chance for a problem to occur in your profile.

I wonder if there's a bug in the new board software.

I wonder that too. We're using the previous version at PP and as far as I know this has not happened there.

I dunno if it's dropping for others, but it seems to have stopped.

Here's a shot of posts as of 5:30 this morning, so mebbe that'll help determine if others have an issue

Nope, you should have 665.


If you want to see what your post count SHOULD be, go into your profile and hit the "find latest posts" link.  Go to the last page, and look at the post number.  That should be your post count.  I think that may discard any posts you made that were eventually sent to Post Hell, but its the best way to see what it should be.

My post count dropped since I last signed on yesterday, but I don't know if it happened yesterday or today.

No worries. 

Just letting you know it's happening again too.  -600 since the last check 

I'm at 5300+ right now (5352?)

Damn, guess I should be at 621, I didn't realize I made that many posts since I usually don't look at my post count.

lol, looks like DrewKaree is supposed to be at 8068
