Thanks, unfortunatly with vb5 they got rid of some of the critical pieces that made the old way this was done. One of them being in the admincp/misc.php as well as changing what a "thread" is and restructuring the forum so that its easier to store in the database without bogging it down.

Thats why I'm trying to find different ways to go about solving this. I appreciate the quick response tho.

Owell you have inspired me tho I do need to get out of my comfort zone and try another strategy and get into building something more significant.

{class TalonThreadPostCount_dB_MYSQL_QueryDefs extends vB_dB_QueryDefs
{

	protected $db_type = 'MYSQL';
	protected static $permission_string = false;	
	protected $query_data = array
	(
		'getUserThreadPostCount' => array(
			vB_dB_Query::QUERYTYPE_KEY => vB_dB_Query::QUERY_SELECT,
            'query_string' => "
              SELECT COUNT from {TABLE_PREFIX}node 
				Where userid = {userid} AND parentid = {parentid}
			  "
		),

		);
    
}

This should do the same thing essentially just gotta build off it
