Really simple, a simple forums counter...

[Hakkie]

This would create more querys to the forumhome if I read the page.
Wouldn't it be easier if you would put some code in the newthread and add 1 to the postcount in mysql?

That way, it would only have to readout the data and not calculate again.
(Or I am misreading the code)

I'm jumping in late here, but I have a php hit counter I'd publish. Any decent hit counter will add 2 queries.
