   Tried implementing this in the profile, had a problem. Seems like it has to be used in the equivalent of the loop? But it was easy to modify. I simply changed function post_code() to:

   function post_count( $id = '' ) 	{
   	if (  get_post_author_id() ) 	{
   		echo get_post_count( get_post_author_id() );	}
   	elseif ( isset( $id ) )		{
   		echo get_post_count( $id );		}
   	else	{
   		echo 'Error';	}
   }

   meaning that if you wanted to call it in a user profile all you had to do is pass $user->ID as a parameter.

   I like the plugin, but it would be good if you could update it with this or something similar. :)

   Odd, I use mine in my profile pages. Of course, I use my second function to pull it out.

   Not a bad idea to make it more usable with profile pages, I'll work on this for the next release.

   Where do I insert this code?

   Does this display the total number of posts in the entire forum, the number of posts a user has posted, or ?

   afrodude: I put mine in post.php, under the author_link

   <?php if (function_exists('post_count')) { ?>
   <small><em><?php post_count() ?></em></small>
   <?php } ?>

   That way, if I ever decide to remove it, it won't muck up my template. :)

   Thanks for this plugin. I'm using it just in my post.php using the code Nitallica posted.

   I modified this plugin to be a little more efficient. In the original version, if you have a topic with 30 replies between two people, you'd end up with 30 SQL statements that fetch the entire set of posts for each user. Not terribly efficient.

   I changed it to use the count(*) instead, and also to cache those counts in a hashtable instead. That way the topic with 30 replies between two people would only have 2 sql statements executed, not 30. Still not perfect, but quite a bit better. I also removed the error notice.

   Here's the full code, which you are welcome to change as much as you want:

   
$htg_postcount = array();

   function post_count() {
   if ( get_post_author_id() )
   echo 'Posts: ' . get_post_count( get_post_author_id() );
   else
   echo '';
   }

   function get_post_count ( $id ) {
global $bbdb;
global $htg_postcount;
if($htg_postcount[$id]==''){
$htg_postcount[$id] = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT count(*) FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE poster_id = $id AND post_status = 0");
}
return $htg_postcount[$id];
}

   In case anyone is having trouble adding the post count to profile pages I modified HowToGeek's code to work in both profiles and posts. Here goes:

   $htg_postcount = array();
   
   function post_count() {
   if ( get_post_author_id() )
   	echo 'Posts: ' . get_post_count( get_post_author_id() );
   else if ( bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) )
   	echo '<strong>Posts</strong>' . get_post_count( bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) );
   echo '';
   }
   
   function get_post_count ( $id ) {
   global $bbdb;
   global $htg_postcount;
   if($htg_postcount[$id]==''){
   $htg_postcount[$id] = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT count(*) FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE poster_id = $id AND post_status = 0");
   }
   return $htg_postcount[$id];
   }

   Just place <?php post_count() ?> in posts.php and/or profile.php anywhere you want.

   I placed mine in the following locations:

   in profile.php:

   <?php bb_profile_data(); ?>
   
   <?php profile_last_online(); ?>
   
   <?php post_count() ?>

   and in post.php:

   <strong><?php post_author_link(); ?></strong>
   			  <small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small>
   			  <?php post_count() ?>

   Oh my, I missed a big problem with the code above. That shows the current users post count on everyone's profile. Here is the correct code:

   $htg_postcount = array();

   function post_count($id = null) {
   if ( get_post_author_id() && $id == null)
   echo 'Posts: ' . get_post_count( get_post_author_id() );
   else if ( !get_post_author_id() && $id != null )
   echo 'Posts' . get_post_count( $id );
   else
   echo 'error';
   }

   function get_post_count ( $id ) {
   global $bbdb;
   global $htg_postcount;
   if($htg_postcount[$id]==''){
   $htg_postcount[$id] = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT count(*) FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE poster_id = $id AND post_status = 0");
   }
   return $htg_postcount[$id];
   }

   With this code you must put this on your profile page: <?php post_count($user->ID) ?> and this on your post page: <?php post_count() ?>
