You are right, Zugman. It is discrimination.
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
I don't really care about counts.
It's discrimination. I'm calling the EEO hotline.
zugmann tree68 They're like seniority. You don't often see someone flaunt their post count - but whether it's a number, or a bunch of stars, or whatever, it's still "whiskers" on the fora. And most people are proud of what they've accomplished. And while it's not always the case, that seniority tells others that perhaps the poster has an inkling of what they're talking about. Seniority is everything. First we lost out join date, then we lose our post counts. If we lost our avatars I may just walk.

baberuth73 Why are post counts so important? I post very little and have been a member since 2007 and could care less how many or how few posts I have contributed.

Semper Vaporo Rader Sidetrack The alleged "upgrade" to the forum software that was performed about 2 months ago, was several steps backwards, in my opinion. In addition to the posting counts being screwed up, getting to the end (newest posts) of multi-page threads is now more complicated than it was in the earlier version. Yeah, the upgrade seems to have altered most user's modus operandi when reading the forum and it seems to be a step backwards in the normal advancement of useability of forum software. As for getting to the last post... on the table of contents page, (the main page of each forum showing the list of threads) to the right of each title is some red text that reads "Latest post" followed by "by" and the user name of the person that made the last posting to the thread. That red text ("Latest post") is a link that, if clicked, will take you directly to the last posting in the thread. This is nice if you have read each posting as it appears, but is painful if you open a thread after there have been several postings to it... you have to scroll backward (up) to get to the 1st one that you have not seen and if that happens to be on a previous page, you have to click the previous page link and then scroll forward (down) to get to it (or maybe back up one more (or more than one) page if there have been more than 15 posts (or multiple of 15) since you last read the thread). I frequent another forum where can set the number of posts that are shown per a download of a bunch (and I set it to 100 so I very seldom have to load another page!) AND it also keeps track of where I last read a thread so when I click on an icon for the 'latest post' the thread is opened and positioned to that posting. (The only problem being that it does not keep track of the post count, but keeps track of the number of pixels into the thread; unfortunately, it does that before loading any images so it is often WAY off in threads with lots of photos linked from outside sources.) I have also noticed that sometimes it fails to mark a thread as having been read, whether I actually read it or if I clicked on the "Mark all read" link on the right hand side of the page (under "Forum options"). Sometimes the list will refresh, but the same threads are still in red font indicating I have not read them, and sometimes after the refresh all the threads will initially appear in black font showing it "took the tag" as my having read them, but some time later the same ones will re-appear in red font as though someone has posted something new to them, but when I open the threads to read the "new" postings, there is nothing "new" there. Irritating!

I agree with Larry's assessment of being on here for some {longer} period of time. Perhaps those of us that have been on here back to {near} the post beginning....it simply shows we certainly have interest in the subjects....and enjoy the good people on here to go back and forth with....even though we may not post that often. We're continuing to be here and do comment when subjects of interest {to us}, does come up.

While it is easy to get caught up in one's own post count, I find it more helpful when I see others post count.
Although a low post count doesn't always indicate a newbie, it does give you a sense of how frequently or infrequently the poster is participating in the forums as opposed to lurking.
The initial date of forum membership would be helpful too if they would restore that to this new version of the software.

Yes, what matters is quality, not quantity.

Well, not to put too fine a point on it...there are other issues that have showed up as well on this forum. It does not play well with some browsers, it does seem to have issues with memory..which I suspect may be at root with post counts here, certain functionalities are MIA....the list is kinda longish...

Sadly, for many reasons, this is true. Navigating the forum is not a asimple and easy as it used to be.
