Why did my post count go down?

Mr Marketer · 09-20-2009, 01:26 PM

Okay... I understand that posting certain places won't add to your post count... But I just noticed i'm down to 9 posts, when I just had 20 or so yesterday. Did I do something? LOL

I've never heard of that, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened
before. I'm guessing it's happened to others.

Not sure but maybe they were deleted. You can try going into your
profile and clicking on the link where it has your total number of posts.
If they're not there, then probably deleted for some reason.

Sometimes links will still be live, but after clicking through there'll be a
message that the post/thread cannot be found. Pretty confident that
means they were deleted.

Just as an fyi, I know it's a bit frowned upon to have a large number of
posts that are very short or even one-liners. I guess some people do that
to quickly build a high post count. Not implying that's what you did. Just
putting that out there.

Sorry can't be more helpful.

Thank you for the heads up, it's really appreciated. Although I can assure you I'm not trying to post just to raise my post count. But I am pretty new to this & can't really offer much advice yet lol, so I'm trying to contribute what I can.

Hey it's cool. You're welcome. Just contribute what you can.
There's a tremendous amount of information buried here in the
forum.

Honestly, I think you can get a fine IM education for free just
reading in this forum.

But I'd recommend you don't spend too much time 'just reading.'
You can prepare forever without ever taking action. So decide
what you want to do and get started. You'll learn as you go along
and experience will be the best teacher.

Also, rather than get caught up with spending money in the WSO
forum, if you can afford $39 then I very highly recommend you
upgrade your membership. To say it's worth it is the understatement
of the century. You'll see why once you're there.

Good luck to you.

Again, THANK YOU! I'm finding a lot of people very friendly & welcoming. I'm definitely exited about joining the War Room *that's what you're talking about upgrading to right? I just wanted to spend a little more time getting acquainted with the forum first. Thanks for the welcome & looking forward to settling in.

Yes, the War Room. That's the upgrade. But sure, of course, take your time.
Walk around, talk to people, check things out.

No pressure, man. Relax. Be cool.
