There is a bug in the forum software that members can have 0 posts when they've already made a post. Sometimes the number of posts for a user that has already made a post can turn to zero. Example:
You cannot view this attachment.

Yes, Sometimes it is an issue for a forum itself.

Yes, it's set to not count?
Or yes, it's set to count?

You need to be more clear.

Well, posts in boards that don't count, will not up a person's post count.
In order for this to be classified as a bug, all boards would need to be set to count posts.
We can't just go by the info you gave us, as there's no way for us to verify that the user posted into a count posts board.

If I were you, I'd set up a test forum, and see if you can reproduce the issue.

Unless of course, if the poster posted into a board that counts posts, and it didn't add to their post count.
Which of course, I highly doubt, saying that no one has ever reported said issue before.

Also, I'm not even sure the OP owns said forum, as the 0 post count poster in the image looks rather like how the OP usually posts... I think he's a member of a forum, and has no idea which boards count posts.

It's also possible for admins to directly alter the post count on an account to whatever value they like.
