XML Error: EntityRef: expecting ';' at Line 8

Same here when importing thanks.

[ChriDevelop]

Sorry, my error, now all is OK!

[techdeals07]

Nice, even better now. If the fake guests could show some activity in who's online, it would be perfect.

[jmm1]

Working great on the forum. But doesn't appear to be working on the homepage (vBAdvanced), any way to make that happen?

I have problem. In my country thousands we write that:
500,000

When i set in configuration
Fake Posts Count = 1

then on my forum is:
501

without "000" :)

Please fix it. Taged and installed.

And I have suggestion:
My english is not good, i write this on example:

1. I deleted 1000 users
2. Last registered user have ID=5000 so I have 4000 registered users.

I would like script to automaticly display in "total registered members" ID of last user (from mysql auto_incremental value for example). So in my case will be showing:
5000 registered members. If 1 new user will registered then this will show 5001 users. Do You understand my request? :)

no i don't understand your request and what is your country?

[eh69]

Poland :)

I try again:
On my forum I automatically delete inactive users. Every time I have to manually add fake users. I wish your mod automatically add fake users in such numbers as removed.

This can be done in such a way that each user is assigned their ID, right? So your mod could "find out" what is the ID assigned to the newest member and this variable (number) set to "all registered members".

It is understandable? :)

Yeah, now i understood, but it so difficult, and the modfication that you mean is very different of this.

So, if i can create this mod you mean, i make a new modification thead!

[louis2610]

[ChriDevelop]

Sorry mens but i've got a lot problems, that i'm fixing them, so wait for the new version! ;)

hi Chris, definitely if you have an updated mod I'm willing to compensate you for your hard work. This mod is very useful for startup forums.


Thanks,

Luis

[lapiervb]

Interesting concept.

[Stevenwi]

Installed :)

[crouzmind]

is there any version of this mod available for 3.8.x ?

[d1jsp]

This mod doesn't let you determine what users show up in the Currently Active Users section? A feature to randomly show people that have already registered would be nice too.

[john7911]

How can I add users name?

[gregorym]

The additional post count doesn't add up to the actual real count. Tested on 4.2.2.
Any idea what's wrong there?

[markoroots]

Then can you make Similar this one ?

[ozzy47]

I have looked into it before, but I am not sure it is worth the time to create something that "fakes" stats for a site. I think it is more important for the owner to create interesting content, and work on getting members.

Having fake stats on the site is not going to accomplish anything.

[ForceHSS]

I would rather have a plugin that makes all members show they are online all the time so the board looks busy

[ozzy47]

So if you have 16,000 members, you want them to show as online all the time?

[ForceHSS]

maybe you can decide how many you want to show online

[ozzy47]

I still don't see how that will make the board look busy, there is to many variables to worry about, on the proper way to fake that. Like online.php, member.php, and exactly where are these members supposed to be. Just seems like to much work for no gain in return. :)

When you start a new board, you need it to look busy so people will post, its that simple. This is a must have tool to get your board up and running fast. Not sure why you diss this product.

It's not really a dis. But talk to any forum admin, and they'll tell you. Nobody posts because the forum looks busy. They post because it is busy. It doesn't get busy by pretending it is. Just like parking cars at a restaurant isn't going to convince people that it's popular, when they go in and see the place empty. The jig will be up pretty quick.

In any event, ozzy was just answering why he wasn't going to make one of these of his own.

Correct. :)

I still don't see how faking stats on the forumhome, is going to make a site look busy. Lets say you add 300 fake users, and 600 guests. Then you also add 2500 fake threads, and 7500 fake posts counts.

Now I start to browse the site, but can only find 150 threads, and 250 posts. that is going to throw up a red flag. Lets say I believe the 300 faked user count, but all I see are posts/threads from one or two users, again red flag.

When someone looks for something using their search engine, is there a option to filter the results by how many members, guests are on a site, or how many threads are there, NO.

Content is king, attracting users to your site is all about content. Have relevant, new and fresh info is the key. It will move you up in the search page rankings, thus making your site more visible, and getting users to your site. :)

But if you insist this is the way to go, try this mod, vBSocial FAKE STATS 4.0 - Lite (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=316167) you may have to go with the pro version toget your desired results though.

[leemart44]

Works with vb 3.8.8 just changed the minimum version

[Maghrebia]

You have for only evry thread count to fake?
