It works fine on my forums, only slower than old version.

Use version 4.5 for now... I'll check this when I have time.

Sounds good but can you make this hack inherit usergroup permissions for recent threads? Please?

Looks like the latest update messed up a couple things.
1) Now, users who belong to a secondary usergroup don't show their user title markup in the stats list.
2) Sorting in the Top Reputation is now defaulting to how many people gave rep instead of how much rep a person has. I don't like that. Would like to turn off how many people gave rep as an option.

Standard permissions are applied here...

Threads from inactive, private and has-no-permissions-to-view forums are not listed in stats. This was not applied to news section only but it's fixed in new version which is coming very soon.

I'm guessing this problem could be due to another addon that is installed.

4.7 just got released :D

v4.7 - Feb 27. 2007.
-Removed options from 4.6 which requires complex queries and makes forums run slow ("show stats for a custom time period" and "show number of members who gaved positive reputation points to user"). Sorry, I know this was useful but it's more important to keep this product fast/stable.
-New in "Latest Forum News": Now you can set several forums to show latest threads/news from
-Fixed bug (stats can not be used in forumdisplay)
-Fixed bug (user see no-permissions-to-view threads in "Latest Forum News")
-ACP settings page re-organized and shortened for better view

Upgrade Info:
1. Import XML as product, allow overwrite.
2. Revert this hack's templates if any customized

I've got this error again:

thanks for the update but I'll watch this closely for any remaining bugs.

thanks updated
