Why Is My Forum Post Count Not Updating?

In summary, the user has noticed that their post count has been stuck at 179 for a couple of weeks despite having made more posts on the forum. They are requesting help from a moderator or administrator to resolve this issue. It is mentioned that the post count has suddenly changed to 181, but the user believes they should have around 200 posts. Additionally, the user has observed that posts in the "General Discussion" section do not contribute to the post count and they are unable to upload an avatar without paying.

General Discussion posts do not add to your post count :)
