Post and activity are *not* same. "Posts" is total post count. Instead, activity depends on no. of posts you made during certain periods. A period is 14 days[1]. You get maximum of 14 points per 14 days as activity. If you haven't made any post in a 2 weeks period, you will loose activity points in that period forever. However, if you make at least one post in a period, you won't miss those activity points, instead, it gets accumulated and once you post next time, your activity will increase. That is, if you posted 3 times in a 2 weeks period, then your activity increases by 3 at the end of that 2 weeks period and remaining 11 points is saved up for later. When you post next time, in another period, you will be able to get 25 points, either if you post 25+ times or if your "posts" is higher than activity, i.e. 14 points of that period plus 11 points from previous period.

Scenarios:-

1. Consider you have 112 "posts" and 112 "activity". You post one time, then at the end of a period, your activity and posts will be 113. You got 1 activity point and remaining 13 points will be accumulated for later.

2. Consider you have 112 posts and activity and you made 20 posts, then at the end of period, your posts will be 132, but you activity will be 126. (Note: 14 points max per period(2 weeks = 14 days.)

3. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 15 posts, then your posts will be 140, but your activity will be 126. (Note: 14 points max per period.)

4. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 1 post, then your posts will be 126, but your activity will be 126. That is, you get 1 activity point by posting once in that period plus 13 posts (125-112=13).

5. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 5 posts, then your posts will be 130, but you activity will be 126.

P.S. If you can't understand something, don't tell "I didn't understand"! Instead, ask about the part you didn't understand. It will help us to give you a better and accurate answer.

Everyone is saying that 'a period' is 14 days. You get maximum of 14 points per 14 days as activity.
But apparently, comrade TropicalDog17 has activity 54, even though he is registered for only 4 full weeks (2 periods). According to "rules" and all that he should have activity 28.

Hey guys i don't understand how activity count... It said that the maximum activity we can get in two week is 14, but why i get 42 activities in only three weeks? Is that mean it can get 14 activities every week?

Not sure if I understand what you mean fully. Once you achieve Jnr rank you can post and edit images. You can't have an avatar until you're a Full Member.

I have a question, would i be able to edit and get my images embedded after getting Jr. Member rank, or just in new posts?

i don't understand , so , if i missed a post in   two weeks period , my rank is still there forever or it will increment when i have  a  post 

Why don't you actually do a bit of research and reading? This info is in the op and dozens of other threads throughout Meta. Post count and activity are not the same. You can only get 14 activity every two week period, so that's why they are not 'converted'.

Nothing is supposed to convert to anything. You gain posts by posting obviously as for the activity, you will gain a maximum of 14 per two weeks period. It's impossible to gain activity If you don't have enough posts. For example, If you have 30 as activity and 41 posts, the activity won't become 44, It will become 41 instead. If you had 44 posts or above, the activity will be 44. In other words, you will gain activity (with a maximum of 14 per two weeks) as long as you have the necessary post count.

My profile showing my posts 51 and my activity 42.What would be the reason that my posts not converted in activity???Can anyone help me in this matter please.
