snark, try this and let me know if it works? it is designed to count all forum topics started by the user. Because the bp_has_activities() only accepts one action type (I think), you would have to create 2 functions like this and add them together – one for new_forum_topics and one for new_forum_posts.

function get_new_forum_topic_count_by_user( $user_id ) {

$args = array(

'per_page' => 10000,

'show_hidden' => true,

'user_id' => $user_id,

'action' => 'new_forum_topic'

);



if ( bp_has_activities( $args ) ) {

global $activities_template;

$count = $activities_template->total_activity_count;

} else {

$count = 0;

}



return $count;

}
