Why is there a discrepancy in my post counts on PhysicsForums?

[joeyar]

Clicking on my profile, I am told I have made 9 posts in PhysicsForums. However, according to the 'Find all posts by Joeyar' option I have made 35 (this is my 36th)

What's with the large discrepancy? A four-fold difference!

Posts under general discussion don't count towards your post count.

That would solve the mystery then. Thanks guys, maybe I need to start posting elsewhere as well.

Are they also disabled in feedback as well now Greg?

That appears to be the case.
