Support Forum

I was working on making custom forum achievements past special forums ranks. Examples could be "Post in 100 topics" or "Start 100 Topics". I was wondering, is there any way of sensing the post countr or topic count for one specific user from the database. I went through the file that displays user details next to posts, and noticed a lot of variables. Does one exist for topic count? Is there any way I could add one with a MySQL request?

Just wondering, I wouldn't expect for you guys to put in something as redundant and odd as topic count or specific post count in different topics. But if you did, or you could tell me how to go about doing that it would be awesome. I have a pretty sharp coding knowledge in areas excluding MySQL requests, but I can learn quick, so there is no need to dumb down your answer so any person can read it, technical terms are understandable.

Thanks so much for all your help over the past few months, as this isnt my first topic I have started. My site will be placing ads in pretty soon, and I will make sure a little bit of fiscal appreciation slips your way for all the trouble you have been going through to help people like me.

Thanks for the help, I'll add in that bit and elaborate from there.
