I'm on vB 3.6.4. I have this installed and I like it, all in all, but the name is mis-leading if I understand how the numbers are calculated. It doesn't actually show the true trend until the last day in any given month. So, 12 times a year you can see what the trend for the month is at the end of the last day in a given month. At the start of each month all the trends will appear to be down because it's comparing that day (e.g. February 1st) against the average of all months since the board was installed. On February 2nd it will still show a 'down' trend because it's using (<Feb 1> + Feb 2>) / <Average of All Months>

And the 'trend' will continue to be down until the number of (for example) New Members for the month reaches the average derived by <Total Members> / <Total Months Forum Installed>. This is, of course, assuming that the <number for the month> does, in fact, reach a point where it is more than <average of all months>. If the <number for the month> is lower than <average of all months> on the last day in the month you truly do have a negative trend.

By all means correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's how the hack works.

BTW - I'd like to know where it pulls the date from that it uses to define the date the board was installed. For example, I put my forum online during August 2001. But - I imported threads from my old 'board' which used UltimateBBS, and therefore my board has posts going back to June 1998 (3 years before I installed vBulletin.
