My posts number doesn't 'fit'
Hi,
I just noticed in my profile I have X posts:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?u=115639
And if I click on 'Find all posts by Googled', there's 3 post more:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search...duser&u=115639
How come those 2 numbers are not the same !?
I guess it's a vBulletin bug, not yours.

There are certain forums where posts are not counted.

I believe it's the New Members forum which does not count posts, however there could be others. Posts are not counted in certain forums to prevent people from posting fluff to get their post count up, to post in the ad forums or reach their custom title.

Ok,
I don't understand the purpose of it as any new user can post in other forums to boost their post number, if some doesn't count.. Maybe those no-count forum have no time limit between posts.
I wouldn't know, but thanks !

Also the "Social Issues" forum doesn't add to your post count. Ultimately, this method improves the quality of posts made in those forums...

I am wondering if it really improves quality because I don't know if it's known from most users.

Its known by users with high-post count -- which tend to be the people who actually care about this.

Personnally, if I'd really want to go post an advert, that kind of thing wouldn't stop me at all. It's not like if it was like 100 posts...
Just my 2 cents...
