Does it Take Time to Increase your Post Numbers ?

Be more active, and involve in every discussion you are interested to.

The numbers next to your name (called your 'User Rating') are NOT a 'post count'. They represent (roughly) the number of discussions you have been involved in, not the actual number of posts you have made. You may post several times in one discussion (for example, as a response and as comments on several responses) but the number will only record the first time you post in a discussion. Also, if you have started discussions yourself, the number will only increment once that discussion receives two posts - two responses or a response and a comment. Something else to bear in mind is that, if you post a discussion (or respond to a discussion) which is subsequently deleted, your User Rating (and any earnings which you might have accrued for your posts) will be adjusted. Since the User Rating is NOT a 'post count', there is not really a direct relationship between the User Rating and earnings. As you are probably aware, the better quality your responses and comments are, the more you will earn and all of your participation will potentially increase your earnings.

no in order for the number in the parenthesis next to your name to move up more is by getting at least one comment and response on any post you do i've been a member for at least a day and a half now well more then that actually i am just 1 hour and 13 minutes away from my next fund payment onto my mylot funds and i earned 1.39 from day one so far so good :D. but the best way to earn more is post more great discussions and responses to other peoples discussions and you will get more number ratings next to your name. go comment on someone else discussion and see it raise by one you can do this quite a lot too.
