Counting Posts in a Specific forum, versus ALL forums

[nicoleryan]

I know in your profile it shows total post count, but is there also a way to show the number of posts made to a specific forum, in addition to the total posts?

Example: A forum has 5 areas you can post in. And here are how many posts you have in each one:
forum 1 - 3
forum 2 - 3
forum 3 - 3
forum 4 - 7
forum 5 - 3

Is there any way to have a profile say:

Total Posts: 19
forum 4 posts: 7

To where you specify which forum and how many posts the user has in that specific forum?

That would require a query each time you want that value as it isn't saved anywhere like the total post count is saved in a field.
