Exactly Humbug! And when the number gets to 100, you get a star! Then at 200 you get to use mylot codes! At 500 you can copy and paste, I can't wait for that one. I stink at typing

hello friend, well after taking a look at the numbers in your brackets it seems to me that you are not a new member here at all, so you should have know this. anyways the numbers in the bracket show the total of the number of posts you have replied to and then number of discussions started by you and the number of comments that you have made on others discussions. i hope this would have surely clarified you doubt about that. and i would also suggest that you go through the mylots policy so that you never face the problem of being expelled from here.

88 posts would signify a new user considering many of us have several thousand posts and more. You made a very good point about reading the FAQs and guidelines though! It's very nice to see a new user who understands how important they are!

That number is you post count. It is not your total number of posts, just the total of the countable posts. You get one 'point' when you start a discussion that gets at least one response. You get one 'point' for your first response to a discussion started by someone else. You get one 'point' for your first comment to another user's response on a discussion someone else started. Comments on your own discussions do not count toward your post count, multiple comments and responses on other user's discussions do not count towards your post count. It is believed however that all posts factor in to your earnings.

Hello Goldencici. The numbers in the parentheses shows the number of posts that you have made. The mylot guidelines will help you out in how to make good posts that will bring you some money. It will also show what kind of posts that you should not make.
