AI Thread Summary
A zero post count indicates that a member has not posted outside of specific forums such as the lounge and General Discussion (GD). Posts made in the lounge do not contribute to the overall post count. Members may mistakenly believe their contributions are counted when they are not. Clarification on which forums count towards post totals is provided at the top of the page. Understanding these distinctions can help users track their participation accurately.

Sometimes when looking through a thread I see that someone's post count is zero, even when they have posted several times in the thread. Is this a known bug?

Posts made in the lounge are not counted. A zero post count means that this member has not posted out side of GD.

Uh ... what is the lounge and what is GD?
 
Actually only posts in General Discussion, Feedback, and P&WA don't count.

You're in the lounge Phinds.
