Using a field that is incremented to keep count isn't very accurate.

Indeed, I'm not quite sure why no one is using this:

Code:

<?php 
require( "forum/admin/config.php3" ); 
$db = mysql_connect( $servername, $dbusername, $dbpassword ); 
mysql_select_db( $dbname ); 
$query=mysql_query( "SELECT COUNT( * ) AS totalthreads FROM thread WHERE forumid = $forumid" ); 
$row = mysql_fetch_array( $query ); 
$totalthreads = $row[ totalthreads ]; 
echo "$totalthreads total threads"; 

?>

It's simple.

Easy.

And works.
