lol i shouldnt even comment on this since I already gave you the code to do exactly what your asking.
The showthread and member part of his code I didnt supply but then I seem to remember you saying you want to learn :p

You want to set specific forums and have a total for threads created in 2 or 3 forums by user I gave you the code to do that all you had to do was install and test :p The first part of my post was what you had to find. The second part was what you had to replace with

So in answer to your question. You use the code i supplied alreadly lol and since you have this one as well you look over the showthread and member part and figure out what you need to edit based on what you added to the dbase ;)

Above seems to be doing a lot of querys for what is a very simple hack (no offence intented to the maker btw)
The counts themselves dont need to be fetched to update them.

i agree. thank you.

That code in the showthread will add a query for every post on the page.

[Infamouz Nex]

uh huh... i understand that... but do i really have a choice? on my page (the poem one) people would like to know, exactly how many poems they have currently submitted... like its one of those neccessity... :goof:

Do you understand that if you have 15 post it will add 15 queries, added on to the 15 original queries that are executed, could be a total of aleast 30 queries for one page. That would slow the site down tremendously.

Also note: If one of your members likes to display more threads on one page it will be added on there. Myself likes to view 25 post per page. That would mean at least 40 queries.

[Infamouz Nex]

hmmm i understand. thank you for your explanation.

what i want is somethign like posts, but just a count for threads for the forums i give it to count for the user. would that make a lot ot queries? like ummm i dont need 5 seprate counts for each forum, its just 1 count for all forums inserted.... what do you think?

[ShavedApe]

No it wouldnt create a lot of queries. Provided your count is added to the user table it can be called whenever user information would be used within a page which is most of the time.
I did provide a way of doing it in an earlier post somewhere on this board I just forgot where sorry.

lol i even used you as an example
