Some posts show Zero posts for the user

For instance https://www.physicsforums.com/posts/6856847/ by @MinorFret shows zero posts for him/her, as does the profile.

But the profile will list 5 posts when clicking on "Postings".

I've noticed this on a few other posts recently but just got around to mentioning it.

I believe a post is an original thread. While comments on a thread are shown under "activity".

I could be mistaken though.

Posts in General Discussion don't count towards post totals. I think it was felt that the post totals should reflect contribution to the science discussions only.

@scottdave: Posts in a thread count as posts (we don't have anyone starting over 10,000 threads, not even close) - but a few forums (especially General Discussion) are excluded from the count. Answering 100 science questions has a different impact than posting in the lame jokes thread 100 times.
