I did it a little differently.

In the Forum table I added a column called countposts

countposts smallint(6) default 1

Then using SQL queries I set them forums I wanted to ignore in the post count to zero.

update forum set countposts=0 where forumid=XX

newthread.php
Look for:

Code:

$foruminfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT

change to:

Code:

$foruminfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT countposts,

Leave the rest of the line alone.

Under that line add:

Code:

$countposts=$foruminfo[countposts];

Then look for:

Code:

        $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts+1,$dotitle"."lastpost=".time()." WHERE userid=$userid");

Change to:

Code:

        //Wayne Luke 11/01/2000
        //Exclude certain forums from post counts
        if ($countposts) {
          $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts+1,$dotitle"."lastpost=".time()." WHERE userid=$userid");
        } else {
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts,$dotitle"."lastpost=".time()." WHERE userid=$userid"); 
        }
        // End Modification.

newreply.php
Look for:

Code:

  $foruminfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT

Change to:

Code:

  $foruminfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT countposts,

Leave the rest of the line as it is.

Look for:

Code:

          $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts+1,$dotitle"."lastpost=".time()." WHERE userid=$userid");

Change to:

Code:

        //Wayne Luke 11/01/2000
        //Exclude certain forums from post counts
        if ($countposts) {
          $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts+1,$dotitle"."lastpost=".time()." WHERE userid=$userid");
        } else {
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts,$dotitle"."lastpost=".time()." WHERE userid=$userid"); 
        }
        // End Modification

THen if I want to exclude another forum in the future, I can just set the countposts column = 0 for that forum without touching the code.
