If we want to show amount of topics started by user below the number of posts in view topic there was written amount of started topics by user, follow the following steps.

Open: admin/applications/forums/modules_public/forums/topics.php

Find (in function public function parsePostRow( $row = array() )):

//-----------------------------------------

				// Add it to the cached list

				//-----------------------------------------

				$this->cached_members[ $row['author_id'] ] = $poster;

Add above:

$this->DB->build( array(

                                'select' => 'COUNT(*) as topics',

                                'from'   => 'topics',

                                'where'  => 'starter_id=' . $row['author_id'],

                        )   );

                            

                $this->DB->execute();

                $r = $this->DB->fetch();

                

                $poster['topics'] = $r['topics'];

Go to ACP -> Look & Feal -> skin -> Templates -> Global Templates -> userInfoPane
