1.6.0 - stable
[+] Added two new modules:
  • Referrer Statistics

[+] Added Setting to control whether top threads & forums data is gathered from forums where posts are not counted towards user post counts.
[+] Updated ip to country databases to the most recent ones.
[F] Corrected a few phrasing bugs and phrased things that were not phrased in 1.5.2.

1.5.2 - stable
[+] Added a few more translations (thanks to those who submitted these).
[+] Fixed a few bugs that were mentioned for 1.5.1.

1.5.1 - stable
[+] Added option to globally enable / disable any stats modules.
[+] Fixed bug with some staff being counted twice.
[+] All numbers are now nicely formatted.

1.5.0 - stable
[+] No more template edits, just upload the files and the product and you're ready to go.
[+] vBulletin 3.5.x - 3.8.x compatible.

1.4.4 - stable
[+] Referrering Sites now have a JS and an XML feed capability.
[+] Added a better firefox icon into the icon database.
[F] Fixed a couple of minor bugs.

1.4.3 - stable
[+] The hack now respects vBulletin's "Show Active Users" setting.
[+] The hack is now valid XHTML (all templates must be reverted).

1.4.2 - stable
[+] Corrected a bug, which caused incorrect number of moderators to be displayed.
[+] gb.gif renamed to uk.gif.

1.4.1 - stable
[+] The front page has been revised, and it now loads four times as fast regardless of the size of your database.
[+] The ip database has been updated to the revision of October 18, 2006.
[+] The flag database has been updated to the revision of October 18, 2006.

1.3.2 - stable
[+] Since more browsers support cookies than ajax, screendepth/screenresolution tracking is now done via cookies.
[+] One less query per page - e.g. now it's only one query per page.

I'm having issues where the Display Colors & Resolutions page isn't showing any data. Everything else is working fine, it's just that page. I've double checked everything and I think I have it installed correctly.

Any suggestions?

Because many hosts including mine don't allow for such things (it also runs mysql 4.0.16). Lock and unlock produce loads (even if minute) on sql servers. I share a server with dozens of other clients so performance is a top concern.

Why not instead find another way that does not require people to contact their host to give them high level rights?

Because that's the only method of locking data.

Not sure why you need to use locking in the form you do for this type of database but seeing how many of us can not have that access (no everyone runs their own mysql server) and almost no other add on here uses this method, I would think you would choose a different way to make this compatible.

and I am going to quote mysql.com because I like to back up my statements with evidence

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/lock-tables.html

Quote:
Normally, you do not need to lock tables, because all single UPDATE statements are atomic; no other thread can interfere with any other currently executing SQL statement. However, there are a few cases when locking tables may provide an advantage:
  • If you are going to run many operations on a set of MyISAM tables, it is much faster to lock the tables you are going to use. Locking MyISAM tables speeds up inserting, updating, or deleting on them. The downside is that no thread can update a READ-locked table (including the one holding the lock) and no thread can access a WRITE-locked table other than the one holding the lock.
    The reason some MyISAM operations are faster under LOCK TABLES is that MySQL does not flush the key cache for the locked tables until UNLOCK TABLES is called. Normally, the key cache is flushed after each SQL statement.
  • If you are using a storage engine in MySQL that does not support transactions, you must use LOCK TABLES if you want to ensure that no other thread comes between a SELECT and an UPDATE. The example shown here requires LOCK TABLES to execute safely:

Code:
LOCK TABLES trans READ, customer WRITE;
SELECT SUM(value) FROM trans WHERE customer_id=some_id;
UPDATE customer
  SET total_value=sum_from_previous_statement
  WHERE customer_id=some_id;
UNLOCK TABLES;
Without LOCK TABLES, it is possible that another thread might insert a new row in the trans table between execution of the SELECT and UPDATE statements.
You can avoid using LOCK TABLES in many cases by using relative updates (UPDATE customer SET value=value+new_value) or the LAST_INSERT_ID() function. See Section 1.9.5.3, “Transactions and Atomic Operations”.
You can also avoid locking tables in some cases by using the user-level advisory lock functions GET_LOCK() and RELEASE_LOCK(). These locks are saved in a hash table in the server and implemented with pthread_mutex_lock() and pthread_mutex_unlock() for high speed. See Section 12.9.4, “Miscellaneous Functions”.
