This is getting confusing.
To clarify;
Threads and topics are the same thing.
Threads/topics contain posts.
Quote:
Forum structure
A forum consists of a tree like directory structure containing topics (commonly called threads) and inside them posts.

Post
A post is a user submitted message enclosed into a block containing the user's details and the date and time it was submitted. Posts are contained in threads, where they appear as boxes one after another. The first post starts the thread; this may be called the TS (thread starter) or OP (original post). Posts that follow in the thread are meant to continue discussion about that post, or respond to other replies.
