Title: Is this a bug? My profile shows post count as "leet" instead of numbers!

As you guys read the title, I am seeing weird post count that is "leet".
Take a look at the following screenshot. I don't why it is showing that way since I have not made any changes in my profile recently?

Have you guys also seeing or saw something like this before?

If yes, how to reset it back to normal numbers?

Edit:

Surprisingly its back to normal now.  :D

But for the knowledge what's the "leet" thing?

It is not a bug, it do happen when user's account reach 1337 posts. But as you continue posting (at 1338th post), it will not appear again. It is a form of achievement that you are not new again to this forum again. I too experienced it lately.

Leet (or "1337"), also known as eleet or leetspeak, is a system of modified spellings used primarily on the Internet. It often uses character replacements in ways that play on the similarity of their glyphs via reflection or other resemblance. Additionally, it modifies certain words based on a system of suffixes and alternate meanings. There are many dialects or linguistic varieties in different online communities.

The term "leet" is derived from the word elite, used as an adjective to describe formidable prowess or accomplishment, especially in the fields of online gaming and computer hacking. The leet lexicon includes spellings of the word as 1337 or leet.

There is something called Search on the forum, and it is very useful when you are interested in something. If by any chance you used this option and typed "leet" in the search box, the answer to your question would be presented in a few seconds.
