My post list is all messed up

Question

Ever since the site update I am having problems.
1) I lost my level 3 status
2) Many posts are missing from My Posts list (the numbers as well as the content). When I page through them it will say posts 81-90 and there will only be 81, 82, 83, 84 for instance.

Hi BlooFan,
The older software was doing exactly the same thing: showing only threads which had not yet aged off.
The confusion now caused by the New Discussions software, is that
--> the displayed number ("Posts: xxx", under your avatar) does not reflect them.
In the "Old Discussions":
At first glance (with the avatar) was displayed the total number of posts and the Level.
Then if you clicked on somebody's name, you were shown something like this:

Total posts: 2446; 371 currently online
Total points: (this was visible only to oneself)
Points to next level: (this too was hidden to the others)
Last level change: (I think this one too was hidden)
Votes remaining: (xx)

In this example, "371" was the actual and accurate number of posts online, and it ajusted every day.
In the New Discussions, the "Posts: xxx" number pretends to do the same, but it doesn't ajust. What it does is just adding and adding at each new message you write,
thus actually starting a "nonsense" post count, beginning on the New Discussions first day.
So this is the bug.
A small, unimportant bug, that we'd have not noticed if the actual Total Posts count was visible.
But
because the actual Total Posts number is disabled, all we see is this buggy Online Posts count.
"Is it going to be like this from now on?"
I don't know, but I trust our Hosts who are working on it since the beginning, to finally find a solution that fits to the now retrieved responsiveness and stability.
HTH
