Just out of curiosity, how does one go about checking how many posts one has?

Click on that little question mark thingie at the head of your post. That’ll take you to your “profile” page. You currently have 135, BTW.

You can also click on other peoples’ little question mark thingies. It’ll take you to THEIR “profile” pages, and you can read all about them.

How do you check your totals? I have no idea what mine is.

Oh, and while I’ve got your ear(s): What’s an ICQ number?

Okay, I’m a complete moron for not reading to the end of the thread. I now know I have 70 posts. My bad.

But I still don’t know what an ICQ number is.

ICQ = I Seek You  
It is a messaging program (chat, messages,file transfers, etc)…

To get it, or to get the ICQ numbers of the Teeming Millions, see: [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/icq.adp](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/icq.adp)
