post only count if they are posting in the tech and car associated threads
it's pretty explicit in the FAQs
Hey everyone,
I noticed a problem with the postcount system.
As of writing this, my postcount is displayed as 2. If you click the Find latest posts link on my profile, it finds 16 posts.
I think I know what it was though... I was still logged in on my brother's computer. So when I would log in on my own computer and post, it wouldn't add to my count.
Usually I wouldn't care about my post count, but it's one of the requirements for posting in the Classifieds here.
Can one of the technical people please do their SQL voodoo and re-adjust my postcount?

Hey MR22ZZ,
Sorry my mistake
Out of curiosity, I searched for "Post Count" and looked through the FAQ but still can't find it in there. Can you please point me to where you mean?
Here you go mate
Why can't I post in the Classifieds sections?
Only financial members and those who are in the Privileged group are allowed to post in this section of the forum.
The main reasons for the Board deciding to set up this section in that way are as follows:
1. we are aiming to produce a more technical based forum like the old one started as
2. we are not offering a free trading post and don't want this forum treated as such
3. selling of your Toyota (including from non financial members) can be of a benefit to everyone, including the financial members
If you are wanting to have full use of the classifieds, the best suggestions we can offer are:
1. become a financial member
2. make a valuable contribution so your reputation goes up
If you have any queries, then please contact the Board.
What is a Privileged user?
Privileged status is bestowed upon a user once they achieve 3 milestones:
1. They have been registered on the forums for over 30 days
2. They make over 100 posts in the Tech and General sections
3. The attain a reputation of 40
Privileged users are able to:
1. Post in the Classifieds sections
2. Have an avatar

Thanks for the responses guys. I do appreciate your effort
My original question was basically "Why hasn't my post count been going up after posting".
As I understand it, the "Why can't I post in the Classifieds sections?" FAQ only talks about the requirements for posting in the classifieds section.
When it says a privileged user must "make over 100 posts in the Tech and General sections", does that mean posts in any other section don't contribute to the post count shown under my name?
That can't be true because my post count went up after posting in both the "Parts Wanted" and "FAQ" sections.
I think my first idea is more likely: My post count wasn't going up while I was logged onto two different computers.
At the risk of annoying the moderators, I'll shut up now
