Bug: Prune's Post Count Appears at 0

  • Thread starter Chris Hillman
  • Start date
In summary, a newbie PF user, Prune, has at least two posts, but the post count is given as zero. When inquiring about this, it was explained that posts in the General Discussion section do not count towards a member's post count. It was also noted that there may be occasional issues with the smilies, but the text codes still work.

Is this a bug? Or a feature? :wink: It might be relevant to note that one of the posts in the link cited was moved by a moderator from another subforum.

Also, I noticed that earlier today, the right clicking on the smilies no longer works for me, although the text codes still work.

It probably means that his posts were in General Discussion. Posting in General Discussion does not increase your post count.

A feature.

Posts in General Discussion aren't included in members' post counts, as they're like tea-time chat.

Right-clicking smilies? Try left-clicking. :biggrin: They work fine for me.

I've had trouble with the smilies a few times as well. Every once in a while the 'framework' line on the right margin moves into the smilie menu. Anything on the outside of that line is unselectable. Usually, that's the 4th & 5th columns. As Chris mentioned, though, the codes still work.
