When you browse a user's profile, the stats show, amongst other things, a number of threads created by that user. Obviously that number only reflects the actual forum threads, this user started (like this one). But when you click on that number, all the threads, including news and album comments where that user made the first submission are displayed.
I find that inconsistent, especially when the numbers can differ immensly, as my own profile (12 to 65). When there is a number I can click on to see more information, I expect the information to be related to that number. I therefore suggest to either include all the thread types in the count or apply the same constraints to the display of threads that were applied when counting them.
