?about how posts are counted

[Ary99]

I notice when I rapidly reply to threads, I don't always get credit. Is it because of a time limit?

[GoodWillHunter]

Maybe you're just tooo quick? :bolt

[luvmy3boys]

Posts in TP and in games don't count towards total (don't know if that clears things up any or not) or it could just take the server a little while to catch up with you.

[Irishmommy]

Other than Games and TP they will count. Maybe you aren't keeping track correctly yourself?

[ilikethedesert]

Just curious about what games and TP are? Also- why is the number of posts you have important? Just wondering. :scratch

[luvmy3boys]

TP=trading post (http://www.mothering.com/discussions/forumdisplay.php?f=107)
Games=games (http://www.mothering.com/discussions/forumdisplay.php?f=253) (threads of games, under TAO)

[Ary99]

I will test my theory here

[Ary99]

Okay, the last post said 497. Let see if this one also says 497

[Ary99]

OKay, now it says 498. I swear it was going crazy yesterday. Or maybe it was me. . . .

[ilikethedesert]

Thanks! The games thing looks slightly addictive! I'm unable to go to the TP, but I think I don't have enought posts yet. That would answer my second question!

ONce you get 50 posts, the TP will magically appear for you

[Trishy]

Also when you post it changes your post count on all of your previous posts.

[ilikethedesert]

Where will ir magically appear? I just hit 50!!!!

[ilikethedesert]

I'm up to 50 and it didn't appear. :( Did I miss somethin'?

[Monkeyfeet]

It will be on the main forum page, 2nd from the bottom. I believe that when I hit 50 it showed up right away. I may be wrong, it has been known to happen once in awhile!

[ilikethedesert]

thanks! I'll look again..

[ilikethedesert]

I'm just a country girl, I don't know the mechanics of how the computer things work, I just know that they do!

[StrawHatBrat]
