They don't count in your "posts:" count to stop you boosting your post count in order to get greater rep power or status.

You can still see all the posts someone makes, and their true post count, via the search engine...

But, Patrick, I'm at a loss as to why this is of concern to you.

Ignore me Duncan. Ever since I've moved to North London I've turned grumpy.

Dammit. You're right. I was going to write a witty retort, but I realised I'd already posted it on 17 October 2003.

Thanks Lou. I'm glad 2 c someone can spot the obvious! (Joined yesterday, zero posts...) I'm fascinated by what will happen when I do a real post.

Especially as it was going to be looking for a showcase partner for the scottish champs... Wouldn't want to get that wrong!

Welcome to the forum Patrick.
Thanks for the info and welcome. It was just a test message, but also curious 2 c if test messages did bump up your post count. I resolved not to post 4 as long as possible, it can get 2 addictive... Now I can post rubbish to my heart's content and it won't count!

you can get rep for test messages so you've now got a Rep score despite having "0 posts" - isn't technology wonderful?
