Possibly a Stupid Question

[casportpony]

What do these numbers mean and what do they do?

Edited to add:
@Texas Kiki figured out that they are the post number and any with the #1000+ means it's a post number that's 1000 or over.

I think I got it...it's the post number in that thread.
But...if the post number is over 1000 then it doesn't say the exact post number, instead just 1000+.

You so clever!

Click on the first thread...I bet the first posting in that thread by Pea is the third post.

I just did and you're correct.

So next question. If it can show that exact post number, why does it show this silly 1000+ number for others?

Seems like you two ladies have too much time on your hands. I'm getting woozy just reading this- I'm gonna need another nap soon.

I think they mean that is the number of times that person posted in that thread.

I checked that, sort of. There is a #1,000+ next to mine, but I have less than 100 posts in that thread.

What did you search for?
What word/s?
Maybe you used that word more than 1000 times?

That was a search for all posts from all users made today.

#13 means the thirteenth reply to the thread.
1,000 refers to the number of likes which they accumulated up to the time of the post- in round numbers.
I’m guessing here

Do the search again right now.
See how @MissChick@dee post above is #8?
Look here, pulled from eh same search:

Maybe it is set to only count up to 1000?

Maybe?
