is this correct? thankx
Yes it is correct. It may take anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks for your status to change.
Don't forget, postings made in the safety valve do not count in your postings.

@pphoenix
Posts in the safety valve don't count and they may just be busy. You'll be upgraded when they upgrade.

Unfortunately the settings / statistics page showed the incorrect value for the forum post count. I have now fixed the page, and the value shown is the actual value that will be used when updating the member level.
All forum posts count toward member level apart from 1) posts made in safety valve, 2) news comments and 3) deleted messages (obviously).
I hope that clears things up!

Ouch, i've lost a few thousand posts!. I had approx 35,000, and 36503 subscribed threads (the subscribed figure still sounds about right). For some reason i only have 27484 posts now. Very odd, especially as i stopped replying to the masses of spam threads we get every day (ie i'd understand if replied to-then hidden spam threads subtracted from the totals) quite a log while ago.
I don't fuss over post counts but i don't think the 27484 figure is right somehow, bearing in mind i very rarely post in Safety Valve or News, and as i say i don't think spam threads should make a difference in my case....
edit- Private Messages sounds about right as i have 2895 of those (i know, i know, i never clear them down)

My post count was off by around 45%. The difference does feel quite huge, but the current counter should be right. I'll try and make some validation runs to see if there are huge mismatches somewhere.
You needn't worry though - you're still the definite Post King over here. ;-)

Hehe cool. Thanks, just don't let DDP hear that, he's probably lost quite a few too and he's definitely the Post King :) :)

Wow.....my count was cut nearly in half. Thanks for the actual figures, even if it is a bit shocking.
Ok, my eyes are back in my head. Whew!! I'm ok now. Off to surf thru the threads to see if I can help anyone.
Thanks again Boss!!

i wasn't cheating. ever since the admin been playing around with the thread links code, i've noticed my count has been going down. the last time i checked i was at 43k & change which i thought was low but this now shows that there is a problem with the counter. even neph says i'm way ahead of him over a yr plus ago.

The front page shows the correct time for me, but the latest postings on the bottom page are several hours ahead.
My email notification page shows newest postings right now dated 12Aug, as it's 11Aug for me.

I'm still bringing up the back :) I don't know if I lost any post count or not - I'm guessing I did.

ddp - I've noticed the time thing too in the offensive post forum. Lately I've also seen a few offensive posts that look like they're open and no comments posted but when you click on it a note is posted and it's closed.

Thanks for reporting the problems. We'll take a look.
The posts made to offensive thread reports are ignored as well.
I'll try and validate the post counts today.

Did some checks, and the current counter seems to be correct. For example your counter, dpp, is now 24444, and the actual number of messages that (should) have incremented the counter is 24518. The difference is mostly explained by the fact that news comments made from the main site have not been counted (they are counted when made via forums -- I'll fix this today so that the posts made through main site are counted as well).
To clarify, messages that meet the criteria below are counted:
1) The post is in a thread that is open or closed, but not hidden.
2) The post is made in a public or semi-public (e.g. Forum announcements) that is still open.
3) The post is not made in Safety valve, All other topics or Kaikki muut keskusteluaiheet (Finnish)
The old count was also correct in a sense - it counted messages posted, but it wasn't filtered by the above rules.
I'm sorry about the confusion caused by this. Something that should have clearly been fixed years ago, but was never really noticed.
And just to clarify, I'm not handing out Post King thrones here. =) I didn't realize ddp had the highest post count prior to the fix. As far as post activity goes, ddp has clearly been the most active over here.
I'll add the "unofficial" count to the settings page as well, so you can keep an eye on both figures at the same time.

My guess was about right.. Nice idea and should stop the constant "why hasn't my status updated" topics from appearing.
