Unless I’m not seeing it, I don’t see a way to see my actual number of posts instead of something like 4.2k. Which doesn’t ring right to me unless the program is being stupid-clever and counting a k as 1024, and even then I think it’s wrong. A “k” is 1024 for bytes, not posts. And if I make $100K salary, I do not make $102,400 a year. ---

Mouseover the number, you’ll get a tooltip with the actual number. ---

Thanks running\_coach. Now the only problem is the number seems short of what I remember having in the old system.
