DR JRand, the number you're seeing (50,236) is the total number of posts for the entire board, including the Kritzer Area, the Millie Area, the Tech Board, etc (I had a similar question when we hit 40,000 and DR Michael Shayne pointed out this information). The daily discussion board is around 49,931 something. We need a little less than 70 posts right now to get to 50,000. You see the total number of Daily Discussion posts at the very first screen of the Community Forum. It lists Forum Name, Topics, Posts, Last Post. Once you click on Daily Discussions to enter that screen goes away.
