Why can't I see how many posts I have anymore?In the old forum layout I could see how many posts I have made.

Because post count is an arbitrary value with no inherent benefit that encourages all sorts of undesirable consequences such as spam and/or an inflamed ego. Consult your medical practitioner and request an inoculation of potassium cyanide if you exhibit any of these symptoms.

Lol... I just wanted to see how many posts I got, and I just want ME to see MY OWN posts, I don't want to publicly advertise it...

Go to your profile, your posts, and count them all :)(Normal users can see the "your posts" under their profile, right?)

I'd prefer if SMF didn't have user post count at all. It's detrimental to all forums because it becomes the focus point. If people are posting to increase a counter instead of because they have something valuable to contribute then you get shitty content posted the forum as a whole suffer.While it not being displayed publicly helps a bit, completely removing it so even users won't know would be even better.

Maybe remove the little box ranking for all users.Sure I'll miss what I got, but...it makes user's think "hang on-how'd he get that high a title"?I'm for it if it means I'm on the same page as my fellow users.

Too much work. SMF uses post count and removing all traces of it is a lot of work. =/

Okay, I think this topic is finished.
