According to the number beneeth my name, I have not postd more than 179 posts. That number has been stuck for a couple of weeks and I have left far more posts on this forum than 179. Can the mod/admin help me, please?

It says 179 now. Let us see what happens when I reply to whatever response I get on this thread...


Wait and see...

General Discussion posts do not add to your post count :)
