BBClone is a PHP statistics system. While it isn't lightweight like PunBB, overall it is very high quality. Anyway, I use it to get more detailed statistics on visits to my forums. To use it with your forums, download and install it, then insert the following code in a file such as header.php (I have it below the <title> tags):

// Edits to use BBclone
define("_BBC_PAGE_NAME", $page_title);
define("_BBCLONE_DIR", "bbclone/");
define("COUNTER", _BBCLONE_DIR."mark_page.php");
if (is_readable(COUNTER)) include_once(COUNTER);

Be sure that it's between <?php and ?>. Change "bbclone/" on the second line with respect to where BBClone is installed on your server.

That's simply the code have BBClone start logging visits; I'll post how to use it to add some extra stats to your index page later on.

To add RSS autodiscovery links (for Firefox livemarks) to my forum, I used the following code:

<?php
// Edits for RSS autodiscovery
echo ("<link rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" title=\"New topics feed.\" href=\"extern.php?action=new&type=rss\"/>\n<link rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" title=\"Recent activity feed.\" href=\"extern.php?action=active&type=rss\"/>\n");
if ($id) {
$auto_discover_new = '<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="New topics feed for forum #'.$id.'." href="extern.php?action=new&type=rss&fid='.$id.'"/>';
$auto_discover_active = '<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Recent activity feed for forum #'.$id.'." href="extern.php?action=active&type=rss&fid='.$id.'"/>';
echo ($auto_discover_new . "\n" . $auto_discover_active . "\n");
}
?>

Add it to header.php. I suggest putting in under "</title>" around line 70.
My PHP isn't that great, so revisions are welcome.

If for some reason you want to see this in action (if you would call it "action"), click the link in my sig.

I hope this helps somebody!

EDIT: See below for new code.
EDIT: It appears that keyes has addressed this kind of thing already. You might try using code from both this thread and the other one to have the most effective solution.
