The forum index page (/forums) shows the number of 'Topics' and 'Posts' where posts = topics + comments.
Whereas on the category page the counter is of "Replies", which is strictly comments.
Form landing page (with 'Posts' count):
Forum category page (with 'Replies' count):
The meaning of 'Posts' is not totally obvious, and it could be construed as inaccurate because it counts topics as well as comments.
Update the label from 'Posts' to 'Replies' and only display the comment count, as on the category page. The number of topics is already listed.
This would modify the totals on the forum page.

(This would need a snippet if it is actioned, because it would modify the counts on the forums page, which should be called out to site builders.)
The forum index shows the comment count as the actual comment count + 1 from the topic itself.
This is confusing (I think completely wrong) because the forum index shows there is 1 comment, while there is none, Or it shows 5 while there 4, and so on...
On the overview that contains the actual topic, the comment count is shown correctly. Which makes it even more confusing.
Attached is a patch that fixed this.
