isn't it postcount = postcount + 1 ?

In Visual Basic, yes. In C+ or C#, no. Or is that Java?? Hrm... I dunno.

I know postcount = postcount + 1 would work in C as well. dunno about C++/C#/Java.

C is pretty much the only real programming language I'm somewhat familiar with.

I am familiar with C++ C# and Java; they all definetly accept postcount++

Join us then!

Is your post always the last one in a thread? Many times have I experienced this.
After much careful thought, I have determined that
my posts are so brilliant and witty, that they cause readers,
new and old, to be caught in infinite loops of pure
enlightenment. This, in turn, disables a person`s ability to respond.
For those of us with this unique ability, and
for those of us aspiring to be Threadkillers,
I offer this thread as a support group.
Never again will you be alone!
Get those keyboards ready and respond.

I think the competition should be who can wait the longest on this thread before it is bumped again. The trick...can you anticipate just beforte someone else bumps and get the bump just before them. The person with the longest time span being the alst post on this thread win the no0b prize. Feel free to come back and edit the original post with the time as last post on thread.

Who can wait the longest?

*Edit: Crap...1 minute

I think it is because they are paging through the OT thread list, and think a specific thread should be talked baout again.

Why do people randomly bump old threads?

Search. Find. Rehash.
