if (is_array($forumcache))
{
foreach ($forumcache AS $forum)
{
$totalthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
$totalposts += $forum['replycount'];
}
}

And change it to:
PHP Code:
if (is_array($forumcache))
{
foreach ($forumcache AS $forum)
{
if (!$forum['is_usenet']) {
$totalthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
$totalposts += $forum['replycount'];
}
}
}

My only addition is that you have to go into your AdminCP and update post counts for the changes to take affect. Try running gateway.php as well.

i found the solution in this HUGE thread finally

But now, need to know a little more details on implemeting the same ?

How do i proceed, what field needs to be added into db which table ? how to add forums id there etc. etc

Looking for help
