Where are you looking? I've never seen ads at the bottom. Or the top, or the sides for that matter.

I've got nothing, still. There are the linkies to the rest of the forum, the copyright bit, then "Powered by Infopop Corporation UBB.classic™ 6.7.2" and that's as far as it goes.

You can temporarily turn it off, refresh the page, and see if the ads show up.
The tabs only show up on items that it doesn't automatically class as ads. Those don't show up at all.

No, really, I don't mind the lack of ads. I was just wondering why I didn't have to suffer through them.
Ah, that would explain it and the nausea/headache/generally crappy feeling I've had all day. Man, Rivka, how did you get to be so knowledgeable?

Don't worry, whippersnapper. When you have my obscene number of posts, you too will know all the secrets of the universe. Or at least of Hatrack.

Okay, I think I figured this crazy post count thing out. Sorta. In the 3 word story thread my post count is 911. Here, however, it is currently 915, soon to be 916.
But I don't know why. It jumped 11 in this thread and is four fewer elsewhere.
Crazy drunken posting doesn't explain it. I have proof!
[EDIT] Now it's 919. I'm so confused. I refreshed everything and checked a couple different pages before posting. [/EDIT]

I haven't deleted anything in quite some time.
[EDIT] Okay.. I think things are mostly caught up. I'm guessing it's just my computer not refreshing correctly. It's still three behind what I think it should be in this thread. [/EDIT]

I was thinking of it in a broad sense, not that you were doing it. What if someone deletes a thread that you posted in - would it make your count go down, but maybe take a while to catch up to itself?

Ok, a short explanation of apparently variable post counts, and a few oddities of UBB.
Firstly, deleted posts and threads do not reduce your post count. If you deleted every single post you had ever posted, and every thread you had ever posted in were deleted, your post count would stay the same. Sorry, but there is no rolling back the odometer.
Every time someone posts a new post to a thread, the post counts reflected in every post in that thread get updated. However, if a thread has not been posted to (by anyone) since your post count has changed, your posts within that thread will not get updated. (Usually -- occasional other events seem to trigger board-wide updates.)
My current (before posting this post) post count is 21333. But if you look at this post, it shows only 21304. And this one shows even fewer, only 21290. (And if anyone posts to either of those to threads, the post count will update.)

I wouldn't rub anything by Ann Coulter against my nether-regions. I'm not sure the soft tissue can handle all that vitriol.
