@Mittineague  
I agree that, in admin panel, total posts = “total posts created” + “total threads created”

Have a look at below pics: (this is for a different user - from my TEST site)

Example of USER2  
**In Profile, Posts=2 Topics=1**

**But in Admin, Posts=4**

Example of USER3 (there are just 3 users in my TEST site)

**NOTE:**  
I’m not sure if “total posts” in Admin panel is REALLY = “total posts” + “total topics” or not.  
BUT - even if its really true, still, the post count in Admin panel is OFF by 1 post. (for 2 users in my TEST site. There are just 3 users in total)
