Posting count

I lost nearly 500 previous postings and my posting count did start at 0 two months ago.
Is this a problem only of my account, or had all discussion members to restart at 0?
Thanks!!
Andreas

But it did work for years, didn't it? There are thousands of Mac forums able to count the posts. If at Apple Discussions they are not able to show the post count, they should simply omit it!"
A large number of problems this time around are caused by the fact that Apple has switched forum software from Web Crossing to Jive. The Jive forum software has a slightly different feature set and some of the features common with Web Crossing are implemented differently. While Web Crossing easily allowed posting cumulative post counts, Jive is set up to display online post counts, so the developers either have to construct a work-around or they have to wait for Jive to add the ability to display cumulative counts.
Custom avatars is another feature that supported by Web Crossing but not by Jive, although Jive has said they expect custom avatars to be added in an upcoming update or upgrade.
While switching to Jive will be beneficial in the long run, the switch has caused short-term problems, and the developers are working on them. Although the new forum was tested before launch, including some users, there was no way they could test it under full load. When the new forum did go live under full load, there were some serious performance issues and these were the issues that the developers concentrated on.
Finally, omitting post counts has been suggested in the past (as well as not displaying or even getting rid of levels), even when the cumulative counts were given and I know of forums that have stopped displaying counts, including some that could display the actual totals.

  • Post Count not Displaying Correctly

    My post count was somewhere over 2000+ posts before the forum change and now it's 1/10th of that at 289... another poster, I see, has over 200,000 which seems rather skewed. If the web developers who did the change can verify the post counts with a simple query of the actual records based off my user account then they'll see the actual record count doesn't match the number showing up for me under a post.

    Um... Yeah, thanks for the reassurance Mr. Smarty Pants. I guess I was not clear enough for the non-technical minded among us... Using my own account as an example I was trying to point out that there's still a bug with the way the new forums query the data from the database and it's an easy test to run a query based on the number of actual records that come up for my user account... the physical record count should be 2000+ and not 280.
    As well, it's very difficult with this current forum format to tell that I'm not logged into it... I was showing as logged into the general Adobe site as indicated at the very top-left of the site by the 'Welcome Chunick', but apparently I wasn't logged into the forum section which was indicated by a Login/Register line of text just below the black Forums header that was in a light blue which was not only hard to catch, but also not indicative that I need to login to the Forums separately which is new with the new forums. Now it seems pretty clear since I worked it out, but it was a bit confusing at first, to be sure.

    Hi Divya, 
    Thanks for your post.
    Try to get fields count in collection using below code snippet:
    TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs =
    new
    TfsTeamProjectCollection(new
    Uri("collectionURL"));
    tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
    WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
    FieldDefinitionCollection fields = workitemstore.FieldDefinitions;
    // get fields count in this collection
    Console.WriteLine(fields.Count);
    //get each field name
    foreach(FieldDefinition
    field in fields)
    Console.WriteLine(field.Name);

  • My post counts is wrong

    Now that the Forums speed problem is solved for me, I'll ask a question I meant to ask since we changed to the Jive Forums.
    My post count was reset to zero when we switched to Jive" Clearspace. Is there a way for the Admins of these Forums to "recover" my real post count since 2002?
    I remember, I changed my screen name at that time to ReneG, would it have cause that?

    Yes, I remember that too. And I did it (whatever it was); and I remember at the same time I did that thing, I changed my screen name.
    I can see if I had changed my email address, I would probably loose the old counts, but I didn't change it.

  • Post Count Back - Points Next?

    Post Counts, and also Reply Numbers are back. I wonder if "Points" will make an appearance, or if they are gone, along with "Salamis?"
    Just curious,
    Hunt

    I don't really agree with Claudio (Claudio please don't get offended )
    I think points mean quite a bit on the other hand the fact that somebody ask some question one time ago is not that relevant.
    Of course combining the date and number of posts does have some meaning but one does see some people (not myself ) who have quite a posts any never answer any body.
    I think the points give a competitive element to the forum and encourage people to participate and answer
    IN SHORT
    A combination of
    1) Posts
    2) Points
    3) Date joined
    should keep most people happy
    Stars are in my opinion left best in the sky but also wouldn't do any harm as long as there not in place of the 3 above.

  • Curious change in post count...

    For the longest time, my "Total Posts" was exactly one number higher than my "Total Posts Online". I understand why this is and that is not what I am asking.
    Today, I looked and my "Total Posts" and "Total Posts Online" are dead even.
    Did an old post get bumped back into the system somehow?

    Hi Phil,
    After the last change to new forum software, there was an offset in post count that could be significant to people who had a lot of posts under the previous version. I think my offset was about 230 posts more than I really made. In the last couple of months, they seem to have corrected this as my current post count is more in line with reality. It's possible that, in the process, some newer accounts saw a little correction too.

  • Erratic post counts in Safari

    I have noticed that Safari on Leopard and also Tiger 10.4.11 has the following problem on three of my machines. Sometimes it will display a count of posts in the feeds bar when all the feeds have been read. On occasion it will also display a count of mail in my Gmail inbox even when I have read it all.
    Here's a screenshot of an example:
    http://users.ox.ac.uk/~lina0989/menusdodgysafari.png
    Re-starting Safari seems to fix this, but it is often slow at updating feeds and the problem can return at any time. Has anyone else seen this?

  • Post count revisited

    I am trying not to let my ego get involved here, but I have over 2500 posts over the past three years, but my current listing shows me with 58. Anyone making any progress on this and why do some people show their 1000's of posts still? I've done some work here that is not being acknowledged.
    David Safir

    I feel like Rip Van Winkle.
    yes, I would imagine you would, lots of changes!
    You are listed as having been on this forum for one year and you show 537 posts.
    yes though when it changed Nov 14 i started with 394, (though i had about 640 odd, just made level 3 in Sept, before change) perhaps because you had not been actively posting, maybe all your post had been offline, I do not know.
    I don't think this is a trival question as a new user of the forum might give more credence to a person who has a long experience helping people here.
    i do not think its trivial either, truth be told, however i do think that links to knowledge based articles need to work.
    This link to thread might better explain.

    It appears your disk image is corrupt. Redownload it at the NeoOffice site. Here is the link for the G4 processor. If you have an Intel processor you need a different version.

  • Bookmark Bar RSS Counts Broken after 5.1.4 upgrade

    Ever since upgrading to 5.1.4 none of the RSS feeds saved in my bookmarks bar are reporting the new post counts properly.
    New posts are not being shown in the bookmarks bar.
    After clicking on a feed the count shows up, and then won't be dismissed no matter how many times it is viewed.
    If I use "View All RSS Articles" for a folder it clears the bar count, but then all the individual feeds are still badged with a count that can't be dismissed.
    Is there a fix for this, or do I have to revert to an older version and hope that the next Safari update will address this?
    (and please, no alternate browser recommendations)

    Hi,
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file  (preferences)
    Quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If that didn't work, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

    Hi Raj,
    Above <i>Your Control Panel</i> -link you should see your own name as a link. Click the link and you should be able to see you previous posts.
    Also if you click your name on the left (above your total posts count) you'll see the same result.
