Hi folks, I had a simple question about which I have been trying to figure out for some time now. What does we mean when we see the number in brackets against a user. ? I initially thought that this means the number of posts made by a mylotter. But sometimes I noticed that it did not increase when I made a post. Also, sometimes I made 3-4 posts and it increased once. Also , does it change also with comments. I am really curious to figure this out, just for fun.

I see the number that is currently in the brackets beside your name (as I post this) is 27. That means you have made 27 posts so far! Occasionally you may see that number decrease, but only rarely. That usually means that a conversation you started or commented on has been deleted. But again, that happens only rarely. The more you post, the more you see the number go up and up! Enjoy myLot!
