Is there any way you can put a users post count below their location?

I don't know, but you can always view your post count by looking at your profile.

It used to be shown there, but people became too obsessed with post counts and were making hundreds of nonsense posts just to boost their count. We used to have these cute little levels where you got a title depending on your post count too. There was stuff like crabber, super crabber, hermit crab and exotic hermit crab.

i saw another forum with post levels on it, its pretty cool. but why post a bunch of spam just to get it up? its neat, but not that important.

While it's an extra step over sites with the number of posts under their avatar, but you get alot more info from HCA.

All you have to do is go to a poster's 'profile'. For example, ondra, your profile says you have 80 posts, which is 0.03% of total/0.14 posts per days. It's based on the day you joined.

Kilamanjaro, who posted after you, at that moment had 5,004 posts (2.10% of total / 4.82 posts per day)'

Another thing that sort of renders post counts meaningless is old posts are regularly archived or pruned all of the time to keep the size of the site manageable and so we don't exceed our server space.

I can't even keep up to get my active for one year title, lol. The internet and I do ok for a while and then I get sick of it and disappear for a while.
