Showing results 1 to 18 of 18
Search took 0.05 seconds. Search: Posts Made By: JinnKai
However, if I go to my user profile at: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/member.php?userid=76815, it shows Total Posts: 37 (1.75 posts per day)
Furthermore, clicking the link in my profile labeled "Find all posts by JinnKai" returns Showing results 1 to 38 of 38 .
I honestly don't care what my post count is, as thats not why I'm here; but I am curious how three seemingly equal php queries return 3 different values? I guess 38 would be the true "count", whereas 18 is the amount that admins favored? What then, is the 37?
Of course, after this post all the numbers will change, but I doubt that they will all remain identical?
Any ideas? 
Sincerely,

After a few minutes of befuddlement, I have discovered the answer. I tried with my own, but searches stop at 500 results, so I used you as teh test subject. You profile post count does not include posts in Nonsense. Your "find all posts" does exactly what you would expect it to do. While doing an advanced search, you probably left the "Show results as" option alone, meaning tha tit will only return threads in which you have posted. Switching to "Show results as" > "Posts" performs the same operation as the "find more posts by this user" link.
Now tha tI've sloved the mystery, I'm going to go have a Scooby Snack and get some sleep.
