If you have the Members module instaled, you get the number of members in its main page. If you go to the template section, you'll see this info comes from <{$lang_totalusers}>.

I'm trying to put that info in a block but I'm failing miserably. I guess in the end the only way to do that is either by a big hack in Members module or by using it to create a new module with a dummy block displaying <{$lang_totalusers}> or $total.

I believe this is the important part of Members' index.php:
$member_handler =& xoops_gethandler('member');
$total = $member_handler->getUserCount(new Criteria('level', 0, '>'));
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_totalusers', sprintf(_MM_TOTALUSERS, '<span style="color:#ff0000;">'.$total.'</span>'));.

I hope we can get thru this and end a bit wiser... either by getting to know how to do that or by learning to leave code to people that can code

I'm looking at it some more, and I've revised my opinion to:

I would suggest waiting for some bigwig with a more in depth knowledge of XOOPS to come along and explain how XOOPS stores, retrieves, updates etc. A user's post count. I must admit that I'm now a little curious myself.
