Hi.

We upgraded to v1.7.0.beta3 and the topics count for categories that contain subcategories only shows the count for the posts that are not in a sub-category. We don’t really use the top-level category, so it looks kind of silly. Here’s our forum:

Is this something that needs to be fixed? Am I missing some option to enable to fix it?

I am going to change this to the bug category, since I think it might be one.
