[Mark Stanton]

I'm just old and had a Westfield for too long

Well if you've got 10 dots Mark I wonder how many Fatman, sorry Blatman will have

Ok, another question, why is the post count shown in the profile about 200 less than the one shown under your avatar (seems to be about the same for all....)

[Mrs Tigger]

Blatters has 10

So it is, I hadn't noticed that. Eagle eyed spot Mr G.

[peterg]

Ah, so he's already maxed out.... not worth him posting anymore then

[Matt Seabrook]

Just checking to see how many I have

[Mrs Tigger]

Posts under the avatars are TOTAL posts made i believe

Posts in profile are the posts that are still on the board

heh heh, keep 'em peeled

I spotted this too. I think it's something to do with posts that have been deleted, either by yourselves or caught in a mass deletion when threads have been axed (urinating in the shower, Dale Farm evictions, grammar fights, etc).
