No, my understanding is the same as yours. There are five deleted posts in this thread. 19 plus 5 is 24.
Edit: What I don't understand though is why Steve001 is seeing 24 given that he's not an admin and thus that deleted posts shouldn't be part of his count.

You mean Steve001 hasn't been made a forum moderator?
We don't know for certain which post Steve001 intended, it may not be 19/24. Perhaps he made a note of the number and then the posts were deleted afterwards.

I suppose that's possible, but the post in question certainly fits his intent.

That doesn't seem possible: at least one of the posts was deleted before
he tim's post (19/24) was even posted (I know because it was mine).

He moderates us in his own way.

Perhaps quoting from that thread may help:
However. I don't know whether this is the one referenced by the earlier comment, I am guessing, as I already said
You guessed correctly. It's a new day and post 24 still remains post 24.

It is #24 that I reach in Typoz’ link.
A post by Tim?

I figured this out. Typoz, you had
turned off visibility of post deletion notices when Chris reported a glitch. That was before we created the hidden politics and conspiracy theory forums though. When we created the group that could access those, its option for deletion notice visibility was set on, so members of
that group
could then (and still can) see post deletion notices, whereas those who were not members of that group (and not admins either) couldn't. This meant that admins and members of the politics/CT group saw one set of post numbers whereas non-admins who hadn't elected to join the politics/CT group saw a different set, because deleted posts were hidden from them.
I use the past tense because I've toggled on the visibility of deletion notices for all users, including guests, so that post numbers should now be consistent between everybody, whether logged in or not; member of the hidden forums group or not; admin or not.
Laird, I knew you understood it (or maybe it was precognition)

Just a point of order, Steve. I presume you took notice of your 'pal' Malf endorsing PR's statement that I was an imbecile ?
No insult
hurled there, that's true. Rather just a subtle little "dump" on my doorstep. You 'sceptics' are much classier that us... and all done without the need for any genuine emotion involved.
