That's what I thought at first, but ALL these requests came from a single IP-Address. Upon checking with the user further (a woman cyclist on our board for years), she had no knowledge or any indication the event had occurred.

My guess is, our HOST has probably changed something to do with MySQL (as others mentioned above) and perhaps that tripped this product into going into a repetitive update cycle for whatever reason(s).

is there any prerequisites b4 install this mod? my page going blank after installation...pls help...

In doing some more research, I don't think it was anything our HOST has done. Our problem, stemmed from a single (good/reliable) user on our website. Below is a listing of when they access our website and how many requests were made of the site, per the raw access logs:

01FEB 281 requests made from 03:15 to 21:59
02FEB 778 requests made from 00:59 to 23:18
03FEB 292 requests made from 13:44 to 22:12
05FEB 438 requests made from 02:00 to 23:19
07FEB 663 requests made from 00:08 to 23:52
08FEB 53 requests made from 11:31 to 15:08
09FEB 281 requests made from 03:16 to 21:00
10FEB 435 requests made from 00:01 to 23:19
11FEB 196 requests made from 03:22 to 05:22
12FEB 50583 requests made from 00:33 to 08:36
13FEB 249 requests made from 07:19 to 08:46

At the worst, our HOST wrote us saying: "High resource usage, especially with PHP scripts" (i.e. misc.php, which this MOD calls for stats calculations) and "Sometimes it has spiked to 35-40% of the CPU."

The user causing this problem, was using MS-IE (Version 8.0.7600.16385) to access our website and was the only one having this issue. They also had a Macintosh computer in the household and when using it, the issue was not present. This week (i.e. 02MAR), they installed the Google Chrome Browser, and have not caused any server load issues since employing it.

Personally, I set our NIX Server Load Limit (in AdminCP) to 10, and also revised the "How often users can manually refresh Latest Posts (in seconds)" to 300. I took both these actions, in an attempt to help reduce our server load during heavy usage times and avoid getting our account suspended again by our HOST.

Again, briefly the problem was the continual reloading of our main forum page that show the stats boxes, causing them to be re-calculated continuously....(below is just 1 second of our raw access log)

It would be nice if this MOD could cache the last results of the stats calculation, and then if requested to re-calc them again too soon (i.e. upon multiple reloading of a webpage) it would just display such rather than having to re-calculate them all over again.

Not that any of this solves the actual issue which caused the problem (i.e. still unknown), but it might help to shed some more light on what's happening to some other administrators employing this MOD. Meanwhile, FWIW our Server Load Averages are back down to normal (i.e. 2.77 3.15 3.20) after our single problem user quit using MS-IE v8.

All posts posted as Administrator shows as double posts now.. Worked fine yesterday.

I'm using Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics 5.7, tried 6.6.2 update, but same thing with both.

triple posts already...

We just upgraded our board from the vb 3.8.2 version to vB 3.8.7 and the "latest posts" are not showing now??

Note: This problem applies to both versions of the CYB stats -- 5.8.1 and the ajax based 6.6.2

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Thank you very much for this excellent hack.

I have the following problem, related to the Social Groups: i want to show the "Latest Group Posts" in ForumHome.

But some of them have been configured -by their owners- as only readable by members of the group. However, if i visit the ForumHome as not logged in, statistics show the titles of the "Latest Group Posts" of such groups.

How can i exclude from non-members of that Social groups, the viewing of the "latest Group posts" that are configured to be private, or readable only by members of the group? I am running vBulletin 3.8.7

Thank you very much in advance.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but the stats do not appear to be working using the new FireFox 4.0 (vb 3.8.7). Just keeps saying "Loading...."

They ARE working in VB 4.

Is there anything that needs to be adjusted or a plug-in added?

Thanks

Are there any plans to add statistics for "Top Repped Posts" and/or "Top Repped Threads" ?

I think they would be a great addition to an already outstanding mod as they would encourage quality posts and threads.

Awesome addition to my forum! Thank you! :)
