nth-child

Hi Guys,

I am using JQuery's nth-child selector to alter the margin on every 3rd div with a class of photo_post_thumbnail, but it alters it every 2nd div?

Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong?

HTML markup

<div class="postbox photo_post_thumbnail">
      blah blah
</div>

<div class="postbox photo_post_thumbnail">
      blah blah
</div>

<div class="postbox photo_post_thumbnail">
      blah blah
</div>

JQuery Code

$('.photo_post_thumbnail:nth-child(3n)').css('margin-right', '0px');
