Is Post count working?

Post by Deane Clark »

I have noticed recently there have been a few new forum members where it says “Posts: 0” under their names, which of course makes no sense since they obviously have at least one post. Is the posts counter even working any more?

EDIT: I checked my post count before and after posting this and it did increase by one, so is it possible this affects new users only?

They can be new users that have just not posted yet. Hence their post count being zero.

But, I wouldn’t know they were users unless they had posted. I am looking at one of their posts when I see that their post count is zero.

Here’s a thread with three posts by a user whose post count is still zero:

Clayton, would that be expected to fix the examples I posted? They haven’t changed.
