Showing total number of topics and posts on the fist page of the forum

[hosseinimr93]

In the first page of the forum, when the mouse cursor is placed on name of childboards, total number of topics and posts are shown. But that doesn't work for main boards.

Why doesn't that work for main boards? That can be useful especially for those who are interested in statistics.
I am sorry if it had been discussed before. I hadn't ever noticed that.

I never spotted these lol
Good findings. For the main board I guess it was not done because you can already see the total number of posts just next to the board names in the index page.

It's just tooltip in html anchor tag for those childboard links.

It was really a good find by the OP. Yeah, that is the total number of posts and topics on the whole board and if you hover and sum up all the child board posts and topics you'll likely to get less because that missing number was for the mainboard.

Example for the Marketplace board:
The whole board got 398055 topics already made but if you sum up all of its child board topics you'll only get 391841 so meaning the mainboard "Marketplace" has already made 6214 topics (this is the topic made as the time of posting this reply it may change any moment e.g. new posts, deleted topics or moved topics to other boards).

Are you serious? It is right on the main boards

Not only for those who care about statistics, everyone can see those numbers to the right of the main boards. Since they were already displayed there, they didn't need to design an extra html anchor to display. Basically, the operation of the forum may be defects due to users, but the structure of the forum is in the most complete and optimal state.

This is not affiliated with what OP is talking about

Oh, I don't know why I hadn't ever noticed number of topics and posts shown there for main boards. Sorry.
The topic is now locked.
Thank you for all responses.
