Hi

Anyone know how to get the post count working properly? I've been posting for over a week and I just know I've done more than 16!

Would appreciate any help - want to be able to do all those wild things super memebers get up to !

Posts in Office Party don't count against your total.

Ah. You've been sucked into the post-count-free abyss known as Office Party. Neither OP nor TIO increase post counts. To do that, you have to post in the writerly threads; like novel writing, humor writing, SYW, etc.

Yup, clicking on your username then selecting "Find More Posts by Katol" reveals a slew of posts in Office Party... and not a lot of other places. Health warning: too much online socializing can be hazardous to your WIP.

Oh god, how embarrassing - I've been found out! :O))

Since I'm new and therefore overawed by the sheer multitude of writers out there I haven't had the nerve to join in many of the "serious" threads for fear of getting laughed off the site! Guess I'll have to go and find a big dollop of gumption - think they may sell it at the chemist in the "fear and phobias" section.

Thanks for the info guys
Cath

You'll be shocked, horrified, or maybe just surprised to find out that at AW? OP is where the *serious* posters do reside.

Now go post something useful before'n we tan yer hide er sumthin, ayup.

Just did - two "proper posts" probably neither one of them useful but I'm learning. I think that you guys'll be reading one hell of a lot of rot from me before I earn my 50 posts, but rules are rules :O))

Not cheating at all. ;) In fact, there used to be a post-count padding thre-- well, maybe I should keep my mouth shut, after all.

But even if it is cheating, think of the good vibes you'll be giving to the n00bs. :D

I know, I know. When I was a newbee I thought, "wow, what a great bunch of people all sitting around waiting for ME to join the site" I went all mushy which took a while to mop up but I couldn't help myself.

Just went over there and did one welcome post - but somehow couldn't bring myself to do more. Guess it has to come from the heart. Don't hold it against me, I'm British and I live in Germany - I don't stand a chance as far as emotion is concerned!

Maybe I learn to give on this site, hey? :O))

Interesting... I didn't know that about the OP, but I did notice my counts didn't always go up. So that means all you people with thousands of posts actually have MILLIONS???

Exactly.

Man, if OP and TIO still racked 'em up, I'd've surely caught up with Ray by now, eh?

Then again, Ray would've gone through the stratosphere, too... so no one's ever gonna catch Ray. ;)
