Hi

I just wanted to report the same thing as Smitty.

In your explanation example here
you say:
But this can't be how it is calculated because my trends are all negative.

Example new threads:

this month from 1-7th February: 137
1-7th January: 81
1-7th December: 91
1-7h October: 18
all before are the same around 30-90

My stats show:
Active Users: 86
Threads: 1.658, This Month: 137 (-19%)
Posts: 9.458, This Month: 679 (-30%)
Users: 357, This Month: 5 (-87%)

There defenetly is something wrong and it doesn't look good if a growing forum has negative trends in their stats so I had to deactivate it.

I really like the Idea and hope this is fixed soon.

Your idea for the calculation you used in your example would work perfectly.

Hello?

Any chance that this hack is still supported?

The key is it does not relate to a true trend. The only way it could do that is if it went by a comparison to the average for the specific day in the month.

What this does do, and it's OK with me, is compare a given day in a month with the total monthly average. On my forum I put in a 'header' that reads: "'Trend' Numbers = Total 'New' so far this month compared to Monthly Average". I would have been more accurate, but it would have taken up too much room, if I had said: "'Trend' Numbers = Total 'New' so far this month compared to Monthly Average over the life time of the forum".

In my case it's even trickier because I started using vBulletin in August of 2001 and imported threads from UltimateBB going back to June of 1998. I also looked at my vBulletin stats in the admin control panel and somewhere along the way the stats got screwed up so according to the vBulletin admin panel my stats are only good from about March of 2003. That said I'm not sure how this hack computes the numbers, so on my board I look at the number as a 'relative' number.

On Dec. 2nd I had a heart-attack. I'm still recovering, but doing much better lately. I plan to get back to my hacks soon. Thank you for your continued patience.

hmmmmm, the images are uploaded into the right directory, but they're coming up as a broken image. Yes, the image names and paths are 100% correct.

Odd. Are you sure it's not a browser cache issue?

Im not sure what to do with the icons?
Where do I upload them?

images/misc

Sorry bout this,

I'm pretty sure ive checked everywhere within vbulletin.
Cant find images/misc.

Under what 'heading' is it?

It's on your ftp, under your forum root. e.g. /public_html/forum/images/misc/
