You have 99 posts to your credit.  Are you looking at the number of personal messages you have received?

 :)
you're not doing anything wrong

below are two images.
the first shows how many personal messages you have received (they are private correspondence between you and the other party)
the second shows how many posts you have made (these are public. the queries and response that we all make in the course of our research)
