Hi there, great mod. Can you tell us how to hide it totally in the navbar when not logged in and then only show it in the nav bar if the user ID that has [permissions to view the stats matches that of the logged in user. Right now my users can click on it only to get disappointed that they don't have permissions to view. I'd rather hide the link from them all together

Many thanks for a great update

[vspro]

Thank you

[redlabour]

Small cosmetic Bug:

All Usergroups that are not allowed to view the Statistic will still see the Quicklink. Please make it invisible for those Usergroups who are not allowed to view it.

[aakhan136]

thanks

Has anyone had the problem of being randomly logged out since installing this mod?

Ever since I installed it I have to log in sometimes twice a day and a few members have made some complaints about the same problem.

This is the only thing I've added since the problem started occuring.

Thanks for the notice, will be considered for future release.

Question....I've installed this and, upon looking at the number of staff members, it says:

8 admins, 0 s-mods, 3 mods

When there are...4 admins, 1 smod and 6 moderators.

I have a few users that are hidden admins...but I only want the Administrator user group to show up for that one...Smod...there is one but it says Zero....and Mods there are 6...but it only says three.

Maybe you could make it so whether or not the user has said usergroup as their Primary...it still counts them in the statistic..

What's up?

EDIT: Another good idea would be for when you're looking at the Top Thread and Forum Statistics that it doesn't show anything from forums with the post counts off. We have a "Trash Bin" kind of forum where all threads go when they get old and are ready to be deleted etc...

Easy install, thx for the update!

[nascartr]

I uninstalled this mod and all logout problem have dissapeared. Is their any reason why this would cause members to be randomly logged out?
