    I never said any of the methods would work for YOU, K

     

    if Google limits what they will serve one, I guess the bar's closed at 999

     

    any method ought to work fine for the OP - HKQ has only been here since Nov 14, 2014

    How far back would one need look for a thread that would serve as a test subject?

    Maybe!

     

    Oh, the count worked better at 899, since the initial shock to google

    of anyone changing the URL to get that far ahead, stopped me at

    higher numbers, at first... and second, then third tries, to gain info.

     

    So I guess they don't want to let you know too much at once.

    Especially if you really want to know. Not enough ads to read

    through by skipping far ahead, & so little profit in it for them?

    Last major software switch was in June I think.

    Some of the google ad content fails to appear of you haven't Flash or java turned on.

    Of course since I use Gmail in a separate browser, and partially turned-off Notifier to

    be able to launch that browser (without notifier itself working) I have the window narrow

    and the content set to appear at 90% or less. I miss the bordering ads almost fully...!

    {snicker} as if I didn't know that - so any post predating the Late June BigSwitch should have had the data we seek available to it for advanced editor to display? One last thing, where would I look for this post count to be displayed in a Wayback Machine (general area is fine)

    Lest we get too far off topic

         ➨ AdBlock is a wonderful thing

              ➨ also CAN block ASC Tools and avatars

                   ➨ my FF add-on AdBlockPlus never has but users report Safari built-in does

              ➨ I never had to tell it to do ANYTHING  - preset to block what it has come to know as ads

         ➨ Firefox disables Flash, QT, et al even if present in the installation (as does latest Chrome)

       

    Finé on the ads - deal?

    I don't think the data is hiding there. It would have been called up on the fly as needed to render on a page where it was displayed, in the same way that points counts are live each time you go back to look at previous posts. The advanced editor page is only invoked at the time of a reply by an active user. There won't be any in the Wayback Machine. The question is did the database keep a track of each user's post count, or did it do a SQL-like count rows function for that user at that time? Maintaining and incrementing a running total is quite easy, but counting records from the entire archive of this site would be an unnecessary overhead, which might be why that feature was dropped. We also don't know which features are native to Jive and which Apple added themselves.

    Aloha ÇÇÇ. This might have been mentioned before but I get lost in long threads, so I'll mention it anyway. There is one active Forum member whose post total shows on each post, unfortunately I can't remember who. Should I ever stumble upon them again I'll send you the link. Stay well.  Bob.

    Forum member whose post total shows on each post,

     

    That's because he uses some type of forum posting tool and copies the output to the ASC input area.  So, I am to understand.

    PS Congratulations on reaching level 6.

    That would be Niel. He maintains a running count which includes the total from previous implementations of the site. You have to locate his most recent post to get the correct count. Posts counts were lost in an earlier platform transition so were not accurate for many of the longer serving users even when they were available.

    Thank you. I couldn't have done it without the help and friendship given me by the other Forum members.

    Thank you. I should have known that, it took Niel about 3 seconds to answer my very first ASC question. Must be coffee time.
