Τhe most possible answer is that you don't have any results to be displayed :)

ahh but anyone who would go to get their link we see that right away?

Well this is mostly for referral statistics. There is no use having it just to display each user his referral link :) You can use vb Referrer for that which is more effective :)
(you can find it in template modifications)

well basically i'm looking to run a refferal contest users get their referral link, and can then see who gets the most people to sign up at the forum.. would even like it to require one post to help weed out spamming accounts...

is this the right mod for me?

want to run contests basically

This is the right mod about displaying the contest results. :)
About the first post limit it will not help :) You can however put users with less than 1 post in a specific usergroup (by using another mod that is availiable here) and then limit this usergroup from the statistics ;)
But it should have to display at least one result otherwise you'll get the warnings you posted above... I should fix that in the next version but I don't have much time for coding these days... :(

i hear ya... ok thanks! i'll just try and fudge it and grab my referer link and sign one up or somehting

You can also tell him/her to add you in the referrer editbox during registration. That's what I usually do, I've never used my referral link (could that be why I have only 9 referrals out of 683 members? :p :p)

Would it really be that bad? I mean when you look at the member list it shows you how many posts each user has. Isn't the number of posts each user has already stored in the database? I don't see the need to go throught the whole post table.

I don't think so. AFAIK the post count is calculated at that time with a count query from the post table. I am not very sure however what is supposed to be an intensive query and what not. Maybe I should open a thread about that :p

But if it was really counting them, then why can you change a user's post count in the admin panel? Even if they really only have 1 post, you can set them to 15,000 posts.. then in the member list it shows 15,000. That indicates to me it's simply a stored value and not calculated on the fly.
