Number of posts

[Shukran]

This is for Admin please - how come my number of posts doesn't change? I can only go back to 7 September when it showed 408 - it's still showing 408 - I don't think so!

[Beachcomber]

I don't wish to pre-empt Admin's reply but I think that each time you make a post your total number of posts is shown on all of your previous posts.

For example, you first post will no longer show 1 but 409 because, with your last post, it has just gone up from 408 to 409. If you look back at everyone else's number of posts you will find that the same applies.

[Shukran]

Thanks Beachcomber for your interpretation. However, I first noticed this yesterday after I'd responded to a post and it showed 408, later that afternoon I responded to another, and again it showed 408. Today I posted twice and both showed 408. Personally I think the clock's stuck...!

EDITED: Blimey - would you believe it's now moved to 410! I still think that's wrong though.

[Grouser]

It's 411 now, but maybe you stood still because you had something deleted. You haven't been contributing to dodgy threads have you?

Ooops - caught out!

Shukran - Back in November, I thought I would do something that might be appreciate by any Canadians living or visiting the CdS. So when the Canadian football championship game was being played, I posted quarter by quarter scores. Total of 4 (maybe 5) posts. Several replies were also posted. The game was over at about 10 pm our time (4 am Spanish time)

Imagine my surprise when the next morning the whole thread had been deleted without so much as a "sorry".

I still don't know why. So my number has been somewhat deflated as well. I didn't know that Canadian football was a "no-no" on A.com. Oh well, live and learn.

John anything not particularly appertaining to Spain and/or with advertising or sponsorship is deleted.

[Shukran]

I see what you mean safeashouses in response to JAWG's post, but there's many a time that members post on UK matters that don't necessarily apply to Spain, and that seems to be acceptable. I'm sure that any Canadians living in Spain appreciate the trouble members go to to keep them informed - as we do when a UK issue is raised. OK, if there was any advertising then I can understand it to a certain degree.

From memory (I know it's reducing in size annually) I'm not aware that any of my posts which have 'disappeared' contained anything that warrants them being deleted. I still say my post numbers are not what they should be.

Is there anybody at home Admin?

What's the problem? There are no prizes for the number of posts.

My query was to Admin just in case there was a problem at their end, I just thought it worth mentioning. I'm well aware that there are no prizes, I use the forum for advice and to try to give back what I can. Can't I ask a simple question without a sarcastic remark?

I wasn't being sarcastic; I wanted to know why it bothered you.

Shukran, We have no known issues with the post numbering at the moment. Sorry for the problem.
