    Hi there, some fora on boards have 'post count switched off'. This means that if you post on one of these fora, your post count won't increase. There could be a few reasons for this, mainly it is to curb spam as some fora are free for users to chat freely. Post count can be seen by some as achievements to reach, and we'd prefer not to promote multiple posts, but relevant content, to keep a good signal:noise ratio.

    The Cuckoos Nest and Puzzles & Quizzes fora are just two fora that have their post count switched off. There are a small number more that share this setting.

    Hope that helps.
