Rich, thanks for the post and suggestion. Unfortunately, I have to give you the usual response.

The fact of the matter that a post counter is very difficult to implement on high traffic sites b/c of the enormous stress it places on the entire system. Think about it. A post counter would have to make real time read calculations across every HUB tens of thousands of times per day.

This is why you don't see post counters on Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, Raging Bull and other finance sites with discussion forums. Stockhouse does have it and kudos to them for doing so but the rest of us just don't seem to know how to do it without putting undo stress on the entire system.

I know it's not the answer you wanted to hear but I hope it clarifies things a bit more.

Regards,
George
