I have a theme with stats in the header on one of my forums, total posts being one of them.

Create a plugin, hook being global_start, name it whatever you want. Code:

PHP Code:

$tpostq = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) AS posts, COUNT(threadid) AS threads FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post");  
$tposts = number_format($tpostq['posts']); 


Then in your template, use the $tposts variable for the stats. I'm pretty sure that'll do it.
