[Forum] How offten does the post/thread count stats at the bottom of forum.php update?

[Huskermax]

I have done some searching and can't find anything. The database count and the count displayed on forum.php are off about 5,000 posts on my board. I know I can update the thread view counter in scheduled tasks. Can I manually update this one? How often does it update?

Any deleted or hidden (moderated) threads or posts in your database?

No deleted but hidden. My mod only board. That makes sense, not sure how many posts and threads are on the mod only board but I bet that makes up for the difference.

How often does this counter update and can I do it manually?

The counter will update whenever a post or thread is added to the site.

You could try running Maintenance > General Update Tools > Rebuild Thread Information and then Rebuild Forum Information and see if that updates it. (But if they are hidden, those won't be included.)

Can I set it up to allow hidden posts to be counted?

There is no default option for that, no. You would need to modify the code to do that which is something you may ask about over on vbulletin.org, the modification site.
