Number of replies not showing up in forums
 

I had some custom work done, with a programmer integrading my payment system with VB, so when they sign up they get access to a new usergroup. Even if they don't have a membership, it creates one for them.

Anyways, maybe I'm just missing something, or maybe it's something with his coding...
But when members post in the private forums, the 'reply' count is not going up, it's staying at zero.

So I'm just wondering if there is something simple I messed up, like editing the forum, or usergroup, so they replies show?
Or is this a programming bug?

In the regular forum the reply count is working.

Does it say zero on the forum homepage? I would think the count wont appear on the whole board stats seeing how its posted in a private area? but I can be and most likely am wrong...
