The Administrators can Edit the users' sites or Delete them.

nope, neither. If the latter was the case I wouldn't be able to use the site at all.

odd............

Did you get it fixed? Seems to be working at the site you linked me to a few pages back... http://www.top-vb.com/top_vbulletin.html

[Ohiosweetheart]

the site has never been down. I'm just getting multiple database errors... 29 today, in fact. I've emailed my host, but no answer from them so far

[derekivey]

No, I'm just saying that I don't see any errors? What page did it say the errors were on?

[Ohiosweetheart]

ugh, I deleted the ones I got today already. When I get the next batch, I'll post it here.

thanks Derek

Hi, installed it works fine with 3.6.4

http://www.flunkme.com/toplist.php

what does "view" section count?? isn't it the same as "out" - I just don't understand... and in addition view and out for the same site are different how can that be? maybe a little bug?

How do I disable counting "view"s?

is the toplist thing server intensive?

[DementedMindz]

no its not intensive at all but i do agree that there is no point cause they both do show the same numbers so having the same thing is pointless

[sandrodz]

DementedMindz
so its good idea to remove views in the next release

another issue, problem is that I have two different numbers for those fields! I noticed that "in" increases 2X for each click, "view" acts normally. What could be the cause? how can that be fixed?


p.s. after several resets it works fine again... hm... very strange!

[sandrodz]

also arrows up down don't work.. it always shows down :S

[sandrodz]

here screenshot of what I'm talkin about! Views and OUT show different results, how can that be??
