I just know that I am missing something very obvious....but here is my question..
I need to be able to track the number of posts done by my members during an upcoming time period.
In other words, I only want to track how many post were done by my members for say the next month.
We'll be running a contest, and the member with the highest number of posts for say, the next 30 days, will win a prize. Then, the members right behind he or she in number of posts will win the consolation prizes.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
I just know this is some sort of filter within the ACP.

Thanks!

There is not some sort of filter in the ACP to do this. You would have to write a page to do this for you (write the query, etc).

Lynne:
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure I'm completely up on the mechanics of that.

Is there a resource I can consult to see a "how-to" on how to write the query?

You can look through the manual. Or, what I used to do is find a similar modification and then modify it to meet my needs. You'll probably want to start by reading one of these - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) or [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc.. They will help you set up a page to put your results on.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
