I've noticed some people have hidden their post counts . . . how is that done?

I didn't know you could do that. Who has hidden their post counts?

I think those posters may not be fully registered or something.

As far as I can tell there is no way to do that. Can you give some examples? Are you looking at posts they made or their entry in the Memberlist? In Memberlist, zero posts shows as blank.
Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance.

For now, I've found that an administrator should be able to do it. Here's one way for phpbb forums..

Also, the forum member cnorman18 has his or her join date, post count, age, and gender hidden from their posts.

OK, I think I've got it figured out.

If you go to Profile / Profile Settings / Privacy, select "No" for Show Me Online. Not only will it hide your online status, but it'll also hide your post count and when you joined. On that page is also some other privacy settings.

Yep, that did it. Thanks! I notice that I can still see my post count and join date but other members can't see mine.
