I have to ask are the old posts automatically upgraded to your CURRENT post count ?

The post count on your profile is a current total, it will always show your current post count, even if you go back to view older posts.
A search directly from the forum database shows 177 posts in your name.
Its not easy to tell what post is in what section from the database, but a quick search using the forum search functions shows a minimum of 17 posts by you containing the letter "a" to Forum Help, and For Sale forums, all which do not count toward post count.
Your current post count is 152, so that only leaves 8 posts unaccounted for.
I could probably find them if I spent more time on it (searching all the different letters of the alphabet, or constructing a database query that correlates each post with a section to show the total posts in each section)
In the meantime, if you can prove your post count is not going up, I will investigate further.
suggestion for evidence, would be to screenshot your post count before posting (such as from your most recent post), and check it after posting. If it does not go up, send me the screenshot of post count pre-post, and exactly which post did not count.
