I'm sure this has been asked by many a person but anyway,
WHY does the post counter only show >500 and not carry on. I know the count continues & can be seen in profiles but why not normally?
Maybe even just change up every extra 100posts so like >600 >700 etc.

I never said it particularly mattered, at least not really to my own count but the counter is useful to get a rough idea of the reliability of people who reply. There's a great deal more experience in someone like masseur with over 7000 posts than just some1 with 501!
Anyway I'm not tryin start a discussion on why it's useful, I was just curious as to why it stops & why 500?

I noticed that if someone sends a pm you can see the exact number of post even when there are more than 500  |

This is by no means true.
There are plenty of people, myself included, who talk a lot but may not necessarily have all the answers.
I'm not calling anybody unreliable, but postcount is in no way related to knowledge of the subject at hand.

and I don't think I have more experience than alot of sub 500 post people. Indeed I learn stuff here every day pretty much like I did the day I joined. I guess I just post more, mostly regurgitating stuff or giving links.
I did learn something here though, I had no idea my post count was 7000+, last time I looked was when we discussed the apparant 9999 limit on avatars as displayed here and how quickly some of us might reach that.
as for the display next to each post stopping at 500, I always assumed it was an arbitrary amount at which point it really didn't matter any more (assuming it mattered at sub 500). I'm sure there is no technical reason for it to just say >500

@ Vlamm
that's why I wrote a 'rough' idea of their reliability, I realise it ain't gospel
@ masseur
We're all here to learn & share our knowledge I guess.
I just noticed ur post count from a PM yesterday. My only comment is  !
@ Tranquil
Thanks for clearing that up.
>500 here I come  just kiddin, I try not to post for the sake of it!
