Displaying forum post count.

[K33nny]

I would like to display the actual post count for my forum. What I mean is, even display posts that have been deleted. We currently have about 100,000 posts on my forumbut in all actuality there's been around 102,205 posts.

there is a section in the admin cpanel that allows you to update the count.

I know there is, but it doesn't display the REAL post count... once a post is deleted it's removed from the counter for some reason.

the realy postcount is the one displayed, what you mean is that also ghostposts should count...

in index.php where you find COUNT(*) as totalposts
replace it with MAX(postid) as totalposts
