Stats variables in other templates than FORUMHOME

[Gastongr]

Hello, i see that in the FORUMHOME template these variables are used to display some basic stats:

$totalthreads
$totalposts
$numbermembers
$newuserid and $newusername

However if i try to call them from an other template they don't output anything, is it that they are only defined in FORUMHOME?

Anyways how can i make to enable this variables in other templates?.
Thanks in advance.

**Edit***
I solved it making new stats by my own instead of using vb functions.
