I noticed today that all 3 of my posts had the #484 posts-- I think it’s been there for a while but should have increased. (although I could be wrong) Any thoughts?
Also read today for the first time the thread by Sunriseast & I see she has 0 posts- but she’s been writing for 2 years about her illness. I think it’s in the parents cafe.
Posts in High School Life and the Parent Cafe don’t count toward your total post count. They also don’t count in the College Confidential Cafe, and there might be another I forgot. 
You are correct, Tito…those are the three. The primary reason for not counting posts made in these forums is that they tend to be more about casual conversation, instead of focused discussion on the college search and admissions process.
