have 'number of posts' (for various posters) gone away? (in regular thread postings)

or have I done something to my settings recently?
I use to prominently see how many posts a fellow member had within a thread/posting.

edit: Thanks! Resolved. Several posters were right - this has something to do with resolution and screen size. No idea why it is rendering differently the past couple days. Nonetheless - that was what was a the root of it.

2. I don't see post count on my phone

I figured it was a Mobile-view thing.

6. It is. With the tablet I use most often for DU these days, post count doesn't appear when the tablet

is vertical, but does appear when it's horizontal.

3. What you see varies according to screen size.

There's just so much DU can stuff into a small screen, so it adjusts.
Sometimes, putting a phone into landscape mode changes things (IIRC)

5. I'm on a computer

plenty of size available on screen. But appreciate help and suggestions.

8. OOPS.

Remote debugging is the bane of my existence.
Good luck.

10. Inside info: Your browser sends screensize and other info to websites.

That could be getting confused, or sometimes you'll see a URL with a m.site.com, where the m means "The user has a mobile device"

I did a search on "html response" regarding window size, and it's so embedded that a website merely writes javascript code:

var w = window.innerWidth;
var h = window.innerHeight;

Gone are the good old days when the browser response string was a big deal.
As usual, resetting the browser, however that's done often helps. (all I see here is "clear history and data" )
It also erases your history of browsing naughty sites (unless Google is tracking you somehow) I use browser extensions and built-ins to limit or stop tracking cookies. Too complex to discuss here.

HTH!
