Why is it that my number do not go up? Last night it was 66 and I have kept on posting this afternoon but it does not change. Is there something wrong? It made me feel bad because as you can see my username is sais06 with the number (66) combined would be sais06(66). It's 666 and I hate it! Any explanation on this please.

The number does not increase for all of your activity. It only increases when you: - start a new topic after it receives 2 responses (or 1 response + 1 comment) - when you respond for the first time on a discussion started by others - when you comment for the first time on a response on a discussion started by others. ALL of your activity counts towards earnings (if it is within the Guidelines) but does not cause your number to increase. If you lose posts due to deletion it decreases. Welcome to myLot!

It's relieving to know that it still counts towards my earnings though my number does not increase all the time. Thank you!

Happy to help! Don't think too much about your earnings. Just enjoy your self and have fun and they will take of themselves

The number after your name is called your 'User Rating' and is NOT s post count. It only increases for the FIRST response and the FIRST comment you make in a discussion and once you have TWO responses to a discussion. It's important to remember, however, that you still earn for ALL quality participation that YOU make.

Yes I actually thought that the number after the username is the post count. Thank you for the information. Maybe I should read more on the FAQ's. Many thanks.

I don't know how long you have seen this, but your number is 74 now, so I wouldn't worry, maybe there was a glitch in the system. In fact, I would not have worried even if it was there, because though I know that is the number of the beast, I have no fear of him.

It's fine now. I already figured out why it doesn't increase for such a period of time. Yeah it's the mark of the beast, though I don't fear him either but of course I don't want to carry that number. Thank you all for your help!

as far as i know, if you give response to your own discussion, your number will not change. so you have to make alot of response to discussion as many as possible.

Thank you for the information. I'm new here in mylot and maybe there's still much I don't know. You are right, I've been actually commenting back on my own discussion that time. Thank you all!
