alrobin Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 ............ and looking back to at least mid-January I have been stuck on 740.Ron,You're not stuck on 740. When you posted the messages in mid-January, they were not at 740. When you post a new message, the count for all of your previous messages will be incremented accordingly. This I believe is the way the counting system has always worked. Quote
ronwil Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Thanks Al. I wondered if that might be the case. So this one should be 741.Ron [uK] Quote

Conflow Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Posted February 14, 2006 Stuck Counter,I give up ~ there is something definitely wrong with the 'Counter Incrimental Logic'My findings are:-1)If you make a Reply within the 'Posting Window of a Member' the counter will not incriment.2)If you make an immediate Reply using the 'Reply Button' at the end of the Web page ~ No Count.3)If you make a Reply directly after somebody else's Reply ~ bingo it works!4)If you quit the Program and re-enter it and make a Reply ~ it works.(I have just done that and you will note the Count is 376)It looks to me as if 'Invision Board' have got their logic mixed up ??Brian.Conflow.

ContaxMan Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 I don't understand why it matters what the counter says!? Quote
alrobin Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 (I have just done that and you will note the Count is 376)No, your count is now 377.I don't experience any of these problems.I replied from the edit button inside your post, and my count incremented to 1858.Actually, it's 1859 now as I just replied to a message in another thread.

LumenLux Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 I don't understand why it matters what the counter says!?It seems then Roger, that you have never received your "participation" payment!? Quote
Conflow Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Posted February 15, 2006 I don't understand why it matters what the counter says!?Hi Roger,I use the Post Counter as a means of 'reference', example:- ..."See my Post No:256"...This makes it easy for readers to find the origional document of interest.I also use it when replying "Off-Forum" ...."Reference your Post No: 342" etc....To me it's a very important function of PTE because sometimes I "Screencapture" various Links and Articles for future reference and I file them as Numbered Gif's...To me that's ...why it matters !Brian.Conflow Quote
