Hello,
I think this would be a very neat and useful mod to have. Why?
Most forums got a hidden trash can or staff discussion forum. All this topics and posts made into it are counted up to the total of posts and replies shown on index.
Which gives the user a unrealistic view of the content they can find on the forum.
This mod would add a new option when you create or edit a forum through acp.
That would allow you to tell phpbb to count yes/no the posts and replies made in this forum to be counted up to the total of posts and replies made on index.
It would still be +1 to the post count of the users posted in x forum depending or not if via permissions it has been set yes/no/never for increase post counter.
I hope someone can make this mod. As this mod would allow a board to show its real content totals.

Disable to count total replies and post made in x forum
Re: Disable to count total replies and post made in x forum
i myselft probably won't used this mod! the way it is is fine for me! that way if you have hidden forum and users see that there are 5 new topics/posts but can only see 3, just makes them wish they could see them, and if you hide the posts from a donators forum, and they see that they are there but can't see them, it might make them want to donate. Or if they are in hidden forums, might make the work harder to try to be part of the site more or part of that group that IS able to see them!
