[Spinball]

When there are thousands of members visiting every, the demand on resources is a bit high. Yes there are two distinct advantages in this hack for me:
1) if the number of members visited today is displayed, it impresses potential advertisers and new members
2) members wanting to know whether other members have visited the forums today can see that information (it's particularly useful for traders who are wanting to know if other members are ignoring their PMs/posts)

Can I please make a request? Could we have an option to just show the totals on the home page without doing the long query to retrieve all the members? So just retrieve the count and display it. And then if the user clicks the display of the count, the list of members opens in a new page?

This way both objectives above are achieved without having to retrieve all the members from the database every time the forum home is displayed.
Thanks for your attention.
