    Brava, Piglet!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Thank you!
  • This is post 1234

    Very pleasing :sunglasses:
  • OK, because I'm sad, I went and checked this out. Sending a pm I got a list of suggested people to post to, which started with @Piglet, moved to @Eutychus and came up with me third, so I wondered if that list was generated by numbers of posts.

    Currently, (well, when I checked a few minutes ago)

    Piglet has posted 2807 times
    Eutychus 2758
    me 2586 (I've slowed down, I beat them both to 2000)
    fineline 2306
    mr cheesy - 2236
    mousethief 2216
    Bishop's Finger 2216
    Barnabas62 2034

    So this version does still list us by numbers of posts, just nowhere we can see normally.

    That's as far as the drop down menu showed. I didn't try to see if it would scroll down further. My sadness only extends so far.
  • I read that as Barnabas: 622034. Which seemed a lot.
  • finelinefineline Kerygmania Host, 8th Day Host
    I just tried this on my iPad but I didn't get a dropdown menu.
  • finelinefineline Kerygmania Host, 8th Day Host
    Trying on my laptop. I have to type the first letter and then it gives me all the possibilities for that letter. For 'F' I am at the top, so I guess that means I've posted more posts than anyone else whose screen name begins with F.

    Alan Cresswell is at the top of A.
    Barnabas62 is at the top of B.
    Curiosity killed is at the top of C.
    Doc Tor is at the top of D.
    Eutychus is at the top of E.

    How do you get the list of everyone?
  • No idea, it just came up when I was writing a pm. I started with one name and wanted to add another, and that's when that list came up.
  • finelinefineline Kerygmania Host, 8th Day Host
    Rossweisse, you are the top for R. (I jumped ahead to R to check where you are, as I know you like this thread and checking your post count.)
  • I'm sure it's right in front of me, but... how does one send a PM? I've never had reason to do so on the new Ship.
    :confused:

    I think if you click on the icon in the upper right corner that looks like an in-box you can see messages sent to you and have the option to send a new message.

    I think. I'll test it out by sending you a message! :smiley:
  • Yes, that worked. Thanks!

    Thank you!

    I'm just astonished that anyone has beaten out Mousethief. Has he been slacking off?

    Your astonishment may be attenuated by scrolling back up.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I could worry about myself for being ahead of our dear Thieving Rodent™, but I console myself that the board hosts had a bit of a head start on the New Ship.

    That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :mrgreen:
  • finelinefineline Kerygmania Host, 8th Day Host
    Heh, I wasn't even a host when the new boards opened, and I didn't even make my way here until a couple months after it began, so that must make me the saddest, most in-need-of-a-life person! I was never a prolific poster on the old ship. I like this one better. It's easier to navigate - less cluttered and the font is bigger and more spaced out, and you can click to see all the most recently updated threads, rather than having to go into each board individually. And being a host makes me come here every day, otherwise I might forget about it.

    Ah. Merci!


  • I believe this is post #1000.
    :worried:
  • ClimacusClimacus Shipmate
    Yay! A happy day, and a happy number post count (yes, just read an article on them!)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Well done, Pigwidgeon! 1000 posts, and every one a wee gem! :smiley:

    Yay, Pigwidgeon! You're way ahead of me!

    Having just looked at my profile for something else, when your post count gets over 3,500, then the post count shows 3.5k! which will mean we can only post our counts at round numbers.

    Current list in order of number of posts is Eutychus, piglet, mr cheesy, me, fineline, mousethief, Martin54, Bishops Finger, Barnabas62, lilbuddha
  • Hover your cursor over the 3.5k and it will give you the actual number.
  • Oh, OK, this will be post number 3,552 -which is embarrassing, but substantially less than @Eutychus at 4,226 and @Piglet on 4,006 and @mr cheesy on 3,898 posts.
  • finelinefineline Kerygmania Host, 8th Day Host
    Mine says 3.4k, and I can't hover over it on my iPad. I do post a lot. I am actually trying to cut back.
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    You do realise that post was a bit self-defeating, then? ;)
  • I'm approaching the 1,000 post mark. So much bunk thundered......

    Ha, yep, but I figure a couple more don't make that much difference. It will still say 3.4k.

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    ... @Piglet on 4,006 ...
    Crikey - I've scuttled past 4,000 without noticing! I did have a look the other day, but when I saw the "3.5K" I just assumed the software had changed the way posts were recorded.

    Oh well, here's to the next 4,000 ... :flushed:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host, 8th Day Host
    Sometime recently I passed the 1K mark. I'm such an underachiever compared to many of you!!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I've just checked mine, and it's saying 4.6K. I really do need to get a life ... :mrgreen:
  • RossweisseRossweisse Hell Host, 8th Day Host
    I'm at 2.3k. I feel like a piker.
  • ZappaZappa Ecclesiantics Host
    Not by comparison ... I once made the front page on the old version, until the sprinters caught up ... here however, with apologies to those who are my harder working fellow hosts, I've barely made three figures. A combination of considerable changes in life and real clutziness learning the new ways ... I should make 300 by about the year 2525 (as the song once said)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Even if you don't say much, you'd be missed if you weren't here!

    You seem to have passed me. I suppose I should be glad about that.

    AAaaawwwwww!!!
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    I was about to post to say I've just reached 300. Not an astounding number, but considering I only reached about 650 posts in more than 10 years on the Old Ship, I'm sure it's a sign of some kind of improvement. :smile:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host, 8th Day Host
    Congratulations, Marsupial! I'm sure you are correct about the improvement! :wink:
  • Just because I bothered to look, and realised I'd sailed past 4 000 recently the top ten posters are:

    Piglet - 4,844
    Eutychus - 4,688
    me - this will be 4,054
    mr cheesy 3,898
    Martin54 - 3,745
    fineline - 3,735
    Bishops Finger - 3,497
    mousethief - 3,411
    Baptist Trainfan -2,567
    Barnabas62 - 2,529

    (PMs list the top ten posters if you put a space in the box)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I'm getting the list, but not the numbers of posts - even in my own profile, I just get "4.8k" or whatever.

    I don't know whether to be chuffed or embarrassed that I'm at the top - my excuse is that I'm hosting and contributing on two boards, and I'm sticking to it!

    I'd like to think that our dear friend WW would be pleased that another AS host was carrying on the tradition of saintly waffling ... :mrgreen:
  • You have to hold the mouse over the 4.8 to get the full number - and I got the numbers by going into profiles individually, having found the list and then being curious as to how many posts that meant.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Ah - that doesn't work on a Tablet, as if I touch the number, I get a pop-up box with options about opening in incognito tabs and whatnot.
  • BoogieBoogie Shipmate
    2.1k

  • @Boogie - currently that's 2,095
  • BoogieBoogie Shipmate
    @Boogie - currently that's 2,095

    Thanks - I just passed the 2000 milestone!
