Style Counts wrong?

Lenny

Ok, I see in the drop down you can change your style, it also gives the ammount of users using that style
Default 1022
Cloud 877
LOTR 148
Smallville 147
Star Wars 104
Simpsons 222
Minimalist 135


This totals to 2655
So whats the rest using?

ecksor

The rest of them have no style set. They'll get a mixture of the styles depending on what forum they're in.

Lenny

No style set would be the default then yea?
So why isn't that higher?

Sloth

The real question is why would anyone use that horrible looking cloud one?

ecksor

Sloth as insightful as ever.

Lenny, it doesn't quite work like that, 'Default' is the name of a style that is the default style. But if you don't have a style then you're ... actually, I'm repeating myself here.

If you don't have a style set then you don't have a style set, so you will usually get the 'Default' style, but if you were on certain forums that have custom styles of their own (LOTR, star wars etc all correspond to styles) then you'll get that style when you browse that forum.

(sometimes that won't matter, as the style can be set to override all the time).

Sloth

Is there a super secret simpsons forum that I'm missing or is it just an optional style because I mean Smallville, Star Wars and LOTR all have one?

ecksor

You get access to the Simpsons forum along with the Default forum and the Cloud forum after you have 1000 posts.

Sloth

Oh right, any reason in particular you need 1000 posts to view it?

ecksor

To encourage 6+ posts per day spammage.

Sloth

Hmm well theres worse out there than me, I used to be 20 a day. I feel like I've grown and matured now though. Kinda.
Anyways what is the Cloud forum?

ecksor

It's a bit of an in-joke.

Sloth

Ah well at this rate I should find out in September some time. I look forward to being enlightened.

lol @ ecksor

I assume that anyone without a style set, gets one assigned to them, but isn't actually included in the count of users who use the style. For example, I just logged in one day last year, found that my style had been changed to the cloud one, realised there was more than one style, had a look at others, but then settled on the Cloud one. So now I'm included in the count, cos I specifically requested my style be set to Cloud.

/me takes a breath

Lenny

Thanks for clearing that up ecksor(I'm a bit slow )

TomTom

I think the minimalist one rocks.

I presume you are joking about a simpsons, default and cloud forum?

Sloth

Really? I feel tricked.

DeVore

ecksor... put the noob's brain back in his head and stop playing with it...

Sloth

Harsh but fair.

Hate to. But have to laugh. Rofl.

Sloth

Whats a suitable post per day count then? and don't say 0.

oeNeo

-1 LOL HEHE

Sloth

Lets not get silly.

DeVore

6 a day is perfectly acceptible, tbh... the content is another thing entirely (not yours Sloth, I mean in general).

That's why I suggested the vocab counter!

Thorbar

Someone with a decent vocabulary wont automatically have anything more interesting to contribute then someone who keeps it simple.

P.S. That was classic eskor.

flav0rflav

pull my figner

Sloth

Wouldn't a vocab counter just cause people to spam Newsnight-review style posts of big words with little meaning in a vain attempt to get their vocab counter up? I right now could go on for a 10 page spiel about society's lack of art appreciation if we had vocab counters and then I'd be king vocab.

You've met Mr.Dictionary then?
