User "post" count not increasing?

Since Oct 30, 2015 or thereabouts. (?)

It seems that user's "post count" has stopped increasing as posts are made?

I initially noticed this on the following thread, where the user "RockSquirrel" (new user) has posted 6 times in that thread, but their post count is stuck on "3"? Their 3rd post being at "1:25 am on Oct 30, 2015 (gmt 0)", so I assume it was sometime after that that things stopped working?

I've watched my own post count over the last 3 or 4 posts and it has not increased.

EDIT: However, in starting this thread my post count has increased by one!?

Hmm, posts not supposed to count in Community - or Foo for that matter. Should count in other forums.

There are six posts by Rock Squirrel in a "numbered" forum. I knew Foo was no count... Didn't know about Community being a no count as well. Thanks for the heads up! (Not looking to up my count...... check my posting profile.... at least 30% are in Foo.)

(edit: Community does advance the post count)

Sorry; amazing what you believe to be true that isn't.

Since starting this thread (possibly just a coincidence), my post count does appear to be increasing.

@lawman.... might check things out with the higher ups. Bennies do occur in this forum.

EDIT this is 5776

Hhhmmm, my last few posts (in the PHP, Apache and Google SEO forums) have all reported the same "117 posts"?!

EDIT: And, as if by magic, when posting in this thread my post count has increased by 1 to 118! Something not quite right somewhere?!

.....and this matters why?

It's all bean-counter stuff. Too big means shut up. Too small means speak up. Or something like that. :)

Because it's a bug.

Incidentally, I've just posted in the PHP forum again and my post count remained on 118

Just noticed that jeking's post count has not increased in the following thread, despite having posted 3 times. Easy to spot, since their total post count is still on 1 (despite joining in Oct 2014)?!
