This must be very resource intensive though.... you are reading all of your threads simply to find out how many there are. I think you would be better off with something like this:

Code:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM thread

HTH.

Not 100% sure, but shouldt that be something more like:

Code:

$query=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(threadid) AS totalthreads FROM thread");

Then you could just grab the total threads by doing something like:

Code:

$row=mysql_fetch_array($query);
$totalthreads = $row[totalthreads];
echo "$totalthreads total threads";

???

I didnt think of this the first time, because im not very knowledgable on server load / mysql strain.....etc... So i guess i really didnt care
