Hi Nebula,
Bad news with your last release of the 08/15:
- Now, on the main page, the number of threads is ok, and the number of posts is not ok (98 for 66 or 147 for 76...) on all forums;
- In forums, the name of the thread is ok, but thread starter, replys and last poster are not ok. Only the number of reply is ok;
- In a topic, the number of reply is not ok;

In fact, it seems that there is an offset between topics and/or threads, because when i open a topic, i see the post for an another one and the number of answers that i can read is corresponding to the bad number that i see when i am in the page of forums.

The mixte is difficult for me to explain in english...so for see the problem, make like me with my data base (that you have) :
- open 2 windows with one in phpBB and the other with the VB importation;
- for every fields like topics, threads, replys,...you compare the VB with the ref in phpBB;

I am sorry to say this to you, but if you don't use this method, i think you can never solve all this problem of mixing...
I don't know how you check your new release, but if you check with 5 posters and 10 posts, it is working fine ! the problem is perhaps with bigger database, so take a real forum like mine for your script validation.

You are so near of the true, take your time, and make the final release perfect !
So, have a nice week-end
