Post counts can still be found on the members list and member profiles btw. They aren't totally gone. Just not supposed to be visible in the forums according to what Rock and I were told by Attroll.

I lubs me some LainWulf, but I'll still bite your ornery paws if'un you accuse others of having diminutive body parts and invite them to do the anatomically impossible.
Wolf, do your paws regenerate once bitten off? I don't have the PM anymore to prove it, but I'm toeless my left side.
Toelessness is an immunity of sorts. It's a liberating thing really. I've invited her to take off my right toes too. I won't need to worry about my left toes being frostbitten.
Might as well just throughly **** her off. Maybe she'll take off all your toes and you will be free, free at last.:D
I walk barefooted through cow pastures. Bring on the big, mean, dino.

Gawd, whose toes are they? Mine were lopped off weeks ago and unless you took extraordinary measures to preserve them, they aren't likely to "take."
Hows come ...?
rick, had you meant to inquire whether cows hum?
Frolicking Dinosaurs
09-11-2007, 23:56
They are Roland's toes (just ignore the bovine aroma) :D
His are probably more cold-hardy than mine were anyway.
Are you, Dino, suggesting they smell of Mertensia?
Frolicking Dinosaurs

While Mertensia would match the beautiful hide in your avartar, I had the substance which fertilizes the Mertensia in mind.
Well, I am a native wildflower enthusiast as well as an advocate of organic fertilizers!;)

So the question still stands.
WHY can't we see the # anymore. What's the logic behind?

Actually, the question was answered in post #4.
Attroll disabled it.

No idea, Troll would have to answer. Personally, I like to see it as it would be easier to welcome new members.
Another change I'm not thrilled with is having the photos compressed when you view a gallery.

Yeah, but why?

I suspect to deter those who post merely to "up" their tally.

Rick,
What does posting a trail name or not posting a trail name have to do with humility?
I'm honestly not sure I understand what you mean.

No idea, Troll would have to answer. Personally, I like to see it as it would be easier to welcome new members. <snip>This came up during a recent post on Ward Leonard. Being able to instantly recognize and welcome new members is pretty important, IMO. I know I was welcomed and encouraged to participate in the begining (for better or worse:D) and it went a long way towards making me feel at home here. Just .02 more cents.

I think the figure should be restored.
The figure does indeed give people an idea about a particular poster.
And I'm not saying that a great number of posts is necessarily indicative of someone being a "good" or significant poster. Maybe it just means they have a lot of time on their hands! Lord knows a lot of my posts over the years could have been skipped. Likewise, there are lots of people here who post infrequently or hardly at all, and it'd be a mistake to infer that their opinion doesn't matter or should be ignored because of the infrequency of their posts.
But on some occasions, we see brand new, or very infrequent posters saying things or advocating things that can indeed be questioned based on the infrequency of their posts or their new-ness to the website. Sometimes, it's quite useful to discover that someone who is particularly outspoken actually has had minimal contact with, or minimal previous connection to the website.
In short, I don't see anything wrong with providing the number of posts that any one individual has contributed, and I'm curious as to why this was changed.
I also like the way that new folks are immediately welcomed to the website when people see their first post, and I'd like to think these early greetings give people a good feeling about Whiteblaze, and encourage further participation.

Looks like the post count has been re-instated. Gotta say I think it's a good thing. Score has nothing to do with it. Nice to welcome new members.:sun
