So in the admin CP, where you can edit the posts per day, posts per 7 days, etc., the first thing I tried to do was disable the scheduled task and put the information in myself. I also went based off individual users, so for instance I put in 5 posts per day, 20 posts per 7 days, and 40 per 30 days. I also set the timeframe for activity to 30 days. So, I recounted everything and it did not show up accurately for most people. Those who had only posted maybe 3 times in the last 7 days had 99% activity, and some people who had not even logged onto the forums or made a post in over a year had an overall activity of 99%. Also, after doing all of this and still having the scheduled task disabled, it automatically put in variables for posts per day when I thought that disabling the task would prevent it from doing this. This resulted in it automatically putting in like 92.3 for every calculation (92.3 posts per day, 7 days, and 30 days), which did not make sense to me.

Alternatively, I have tried to leave the scheduled task running and let it do it on its own, but I manually put in a 30 day timeframe for activity. The calclulations would change on their own, as expected, but it would make them too high, like I mentioned above with it having like 90 some posts per day in each time variable. And still, those who had not logged on would have percentages of activity that they should not have had.

So basically, I'm not getting an accurate reading on the activity levels. In my mind, users who have not logged in, made any posts, etc., within the set time frame, they should have a 0% activity level for everything. Seeing as how it auto-corrects to a higher number, I am thinking that maybe it goes by the entire forums posts per day, per 7 days, etc., but then it wouldn't make sense for the scheduled task to make all of these the same number of posts.

I would like to have an idea of how to set this up appropriately. There seems to be too many problems that I am having and I know the system works, its just that I do not fully understand how it works or how to make it work in the way that I am thinking it should. So any help on this would be greatly appreciated and the sooner the better. Thanks.

How long is your board running with vBExperience 4? Are you using activities? These are important questions, as the activitiy is being counted from the count of recorded actions in the given timeframe. The activity cannot be accurate by just using data from the last two weeks.

I would suggest to leave the system alone and wait until it finds the correct acitivity for everyone.

All the index's are out and you will need to run the mysql-schema.php file thats in the install folder to fix the index and then you will have to run the Repair / Optimize Tables to fix other problems or even re-install some products as well.

Yes, an upgrade is not just replacing the binaries.
