It works fine in Firefox, just hold down Ctrl and unselect the forum that has been selected.

This problem appears on Windows based browsers but not Linux based browsers (after I tested using Linux Chromium & Firefox last night). So perhaps point one and two could be some form of caching issue from the Windows OS ?
OS should have no effect, and neither should the forums the field is available in either.

I have built only has one post per thread (which has a total) and I wish to use the thread(post) total to be added to the forum total and would save me doing all the calculations from each thread to produce the forum total
This "save me doing work" idea of yours is guaranteed to lead to more pain in the future.
Just do it properly: that is, perform the calculation when you need it.

Your concept of performance seems misguided. A join does not require any more queries.
You can modify the script as much as you want. No one will help you if you break it though.
