Thanks for any info. AMENCADDY 03-26-09, 11:38 PM Sure it is, just click on the member profile name and go to the "all posts by..." it's right at the top right hand corner of the first page. Slightly different from the way it was a few weeks ago, I know. It weirded me out too at first. submariner409 03-28-09, 10:16 PM In answer to your question, I believe the post count number was deleted from the members "masthead" to minimize useless spamming and unnecessary comparisons with a numbers game. From here on out, quality talks, quantity walks. (A year or so back there was also a "rep(utation) points" system. That was deleted for mainly the same reasons.) If someone can't make a constructive, informational reply to someone's question, don't bother spamming. JimmyH 03-28-09, 11:55 PM Hey, I am all about spam. But this is the third thread (pardon the alliteration) in this forum about post count. And it's gone because it's ridiculous and meaningless. TSS 04-09-09, 11:13 AM Yeah, but when a rant used to come out of the blue, I liked to be able to see if it was a one post wonder or a long time poster at a glance. Now I have to take 4 seconds and do an extra two clicks. thebigjimsho 04-11-09, 12:35 PM I killed both the rep system and poast counts. You're welcome. grr............. thebigjimsho 04-11-09, 12:36 PM 18,611 poasts, BTDubs... AMENCADDY 04-11-09, 02:40 PM And it's gone because it's ridiculous and meaningless. Is Not! Some of us newbies like to study the ancient posts to glean the info. Inquiring minds want to know. :duck:Take it as a compliment. But I can also understand the enormous memory on the server and the toll it must take on the budget. JimmyH 04-11-09, 08:37 PM it is still actually there; all you have to do is click on a user's name, on the drop down click on "view public profile" and on the profile page, in the upper right, that user's post count is in the upper right corner AMENCADDY 04-11-09, 11:36 PM So let's say, I want to pick your brain by reading "all posts by JimmyH". Click to link and here is what I get "Showing results 1 to 25 of 500 Search took 0.37 seconds." That's it - only 500. Where did the other 13,004 go to? It's the same for Bbob, Ranger, Sal, etc. all the Ancient Wise Ones are only listing 500 like that. How's Pacino supposed to learn everything there is to know about Caddy's that way? (Just teasing! I'm probly overlooking something) thebigjimsho 04-12-09, 03:19 AM So let's say, I want to pick your brain by reading "all posts by JimmyH".
