Let's post something positive

Anthony, this hack is great. We have no problem with serverperformance and since your last update all the stats seem to be OK.
I'm gonna release it to our population

And I'll be sure to follow this thread for future developments.
Keep up the good work! Thanks.

shouldnt you try it first????? you didnt even fully install it lol,so how will you ever know,if it didnt work for you how hard would it be to uninstall???

[akanevsky]

This is an excellent hack, I just wish there was a "Lite" version that would just display statistics in text form only, and without the pictures and bars. Overall, a great forum addition, though. Easy installation and no problems as of yet. Great job.

Then why don't you click the button? As for lite version, see FAQ post.

17,000+ error messages spammed...
Getting loads of database errors again...

Read the FAQ post before you post your concerns. Both of you have been added to the ignore list because you broke the rules of this thread.

We all need a good statistics hack for our boards but not this one.

High server load may only occur because there is something wrong with YOUR board, not this hack. Congratulations, you too have been added to the ignore list. Reason: if you have uninstalled the hack and have not checked out even the latest version(s), you have no valid say, thus please do not intervene with other peoples' business. Thank you.

Here is the flag for Aruba, add it to your flag directory.

Thank you, but what is the abbreviation of Aruba?

@S@NL - BlackBik, @Rickie3
Thanks.

[KayDEE]

nice to see the regions and countries stats got fixed

for those ppl complaining about this hack ... we have 3.5.3 running with way above 20+ hacks installed and it runs smooth without any "high" cpu loads or sql erros.

read close and get a bit knowledge of php/sql and vB itself ... (you might be surprised how easy it can be to fix some things yourself, without +++++ing)

[silurius]

Saw the update & thought I'd give it another go. What's the upgrade process? Did not see that in FAQ, initial post or in readme file.

[akanevsky]

Upgrade instructions come with an update. You gotta find the post which came with the last update. I am not doing that for you.

You, however, won't have much trouble finding the last of those posts, because each of the posts contains bananas in them.

Wow. Very mature response. How about taking criticism as a positive to making your product better and more compatable with a wide usergroup. I even gave you a hint. OOOPS I forgot I am on your ignore list.
