Go to Admin > Maintenance > Routine> Run the "Recount all forum totals and statistics" task.

For performance reasons, I believe the postcount of sub childboards won't be counted.

They do get counted in mine... I think there might be a setting somewhere to turn it on or off... Hmm will go look.

[PurpleCrow]

Yeah its a setting - Go to Admin > Features and Options > General > Check the "Count child's viewers and posts in parent's totals" box.

I'm talking about the childboards of childboards.

I'm not using those, so I'm not sure. For as far as I know it will take a hugh load on the server retrieving that information. Which is also the reason there's an option to count posts from the childboard.

[PurpleCrow]

Aha, no it doesnt count child-childboards. Didnt realise as I never use them.

Not everybody uses them and as the other person said, they require a lot of server load when the data is retrieved.

[Awilum]

its dont work.
an that in SMF maybe only

root cat
--> cat1
----> cat2

its bad.

[CapadY]

its bad.

No, it's the way how SMF counts messages and topics. Its not even a bug.
I think there is even an messages shown when you ad a sub-sub board the messages aren't count.

[Awilum]

its bad because

root cat
--> cat1
----> cat2
--------> cat3
--------> cat4

cat3 and cat4 are not useful with out correct statistic on the main board(category)

maybe put a request in Mod Requests and someone will make this into a mod
