How come some posters' number of posts doesn't change?

I'm not talking about those who have hit 1000.

I have noticed once in a while, it's indicated that the person posted X posts, and in subsequent posts, it's the same number.

What's the deal with this?

1. click on the profile icon

and that will give you an accurate post count

2. The number next to a name in any post reflects the most current number

so if post number 44 happens, all of the posts by that DUER shows 44 posts. When they post number 45, all posts by that DUer is updated to 45.

3. Current total as of when you read it, not when poster posted it.

4. When one post a new post, ALL their active posts will show the new count

so they all say the same #
