I have a question about this hack, thinking it may help me out with a slightly different issue.
When a user is logged in they see the message:
Members: XX, Threads: YY, Posts: ZZ
I have a forum that is run off the NNTP gateway, so it gets TONS of new posts all the time. I was able to "ignore" the threads in that forum via another individual's code help here... I was also able to exclude the forum from the search and "view new posts" functions... however, I have yet to find a way to stop the post count from going up for this forum.
I'm curious - if I use this hack, turn on special post count and use that forumid, will the post count on the main page NOT show the posts that happen in the "special" forum?
If not, is there a way to do that?
Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but I know others are looking for this functionality as well... this is as close as I've seen to pulling it off.
Thanks..
My users are so tired of seeing the post count in the hundreds I have had to turn off the NNTP gateway, even though they also enjoyed having that forum open.
