Multiple Errors., I'm not even sure anyone has been getting my PMs. Options

The site hasn't been counting my posts as mine. Some of them were credited to Thorn, such as my post on Werewolves. My count is stuck at 49. Also It seems that my PMs aren't going anywhere. I tried sending a message to Esoterica and I also sent one to Kinjo but I noticed while sending the latter that it said the address field was empty. It wasn't. I sent it anyway, and went to check my sent messages just to be sure. And lo and behold, there were NONE in there. Someone please help me.

VitalWinds, Greetings!
I'm not sure what to say about this...I think that Kinjo will be able to shed more light but I have a few ideas...
1. As far as I can tell, your membership has utilized a total of 5/6 different IP addresses. This is OK...but when I tally the times used I come up with around 61 times. This doesn't mean that you posted in an accountable sub-forum...posts made here or in the Coffee house/shop don't count toward overall posts.
2. When in an accountable sub-forum, posts under 75 characters long are not counted! This stops members from saying "Good post!" and thinking that it will help their post count.
3. 3 posts in an accountable sub-forum allows the members PM functioning. You have at least 49 posts so that your PM function supposedly is working! (and the post to Kinjo and Es was sent...they haven't picked up on them yet! I, also, get frustrated when members are slow to answer/read PM's but we must realize that they have lives as we do and might not choose to hover over the Forum waiting...) btw, in sending PM's check the two boxes underneath the message block to save a copy of the PM to your folder...this might explain the absence of a copy...?
I'm not sure how or why Thorn received credit for your initial posting...was that member using your computer/account? This needs looking into. I will do so. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Anytime you have a problem, PLEASE contact either a Mod or an Admin so that the problem/situation can be corrected as soon as possible! That's what we are here for!
I realize that this wasn't alot of help...but know that it is being looked into and, if necessary, I'll recalibrate the post count myself. BUT...just curious, why do you care about the count? Your posts are intelligent and well placed. Is there a prize available for posting that I don't know about? LOL! If so, then I WIN! Yay! *grin* (yeah...great! The old fat loser gets the prize...*sigh*) The best I can do is work on it! Hopefully Kinjo will have some good advice...he usually does! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Actually I realized that we just had a post by the same title. My bad. Haha. Oh well. So i guess everything's figured out then. Thank you.

Actually the reason I was worried about my post count is because I kind of wish to be held at the same level of credibility as yourself, Esoterica, and Vagrant Dreamer. Not to leave anybody out, or say that they are necessarily more intelligent than others, they are just the people I hold in high regard as far as these forums are concerned. I mean I realize that I would also have to keep learning and shifting my paradigm beyond where it currently stands to actually stand at equal credibility with them, but it would be nice to have the title of Theoricus.
