I've noticed that I have had some problems with the post counter as well. When I responded to some thread I recieved a post count number (104), when I responded yet again and again (105,106), post 104 was listed as 106, as was 105. All three posts in the same thread were listed as 106. I noticed this a couple of weeks ago-twice. Anyway, most forums have disabled the post counter, to cut down on spam.
