Ok, here's how you do it (I do this on my site too, it's not hard.)


In your DEFUALT styleo nyour boards, pu tthis under the meta tags in FORUMHOME template:

<meta name="threads" content="$totalthreads" />
<meta name="members" content="$numbermembers" />
<meta name="posts" content="$totalposts" />
<meta name="newmember" content="$newusername" />

Now, in your webpage (MUST be PHP) Put this in. (MAKE SURE to redirect the URL that's in the get_meta_tags to your forum URL.

<?$stats = get_meta_tags("http://www.yoursite.com/forums/index.php?");?>
Threads: <?php print( $stats['threads'] ); // to get the number of threads;?>
Members: <?php print( $stats['members'] ); // to get the number of members ;?>
Posts: <?php print( $stats['posts'] ); // to get the number of posts;?>
Newest Member: <?php print( $stats['newmember'] ); // to get the newest members name;?>

And there you go!
