So should I go through and undo this one and do the seperate page instead? Ugggg.. I just dont understand why it would work, then all of a sudden not work. lol

[WEForums]

lol, that's normal. Even the vB2 hack did this same thing, and it the coding isn't even the same thing.

At 12am or so, the hack goes to 0, and it stays that way for a few hours afterwards. Just look at it later in the day. As far as I know, it's always that way...

That doesnt explain why it works when I log out does it? How is it that I can log out and its working, but if Im logged in it doesnt?

That makes no sense LOL

and thats with all user groups. I tried Registered, Administrator, and Moderator. Doesnt work unless logged out for all users..

[WEForums]

Are you sure it's not something to do with the time you set in your usercp?

I don't know. All I know is it does work, at least for vB3.0.1.

[romeshomey]

Ok, i figured out that it only works right if the 'users' clock time is set the same as the forum clock time.

I went and edited a users account to PST instead of EST and it worked. So that has to be what the deal is, its offsetting times between the forum and user clock settings.

Anyway to fix that?

[romeshomey]

Nitemare, I tried to send you a PM on my boards but it said you werent accepting.

Maybe you hadnt confirmed the registration yet..

This is what was in it...

Thanks for taking the time to try and help with the Whos Online Today. I figured out what the deal is, now just have to find a fix for the offsetting times.

I hope you enjoy the boards and come back and visit from time too time. The place used to rock but I had too take some time away for the family and things kinda died down do to no maintanence.

Im back now though, and got to get this place rolling again in time for football season. New portals being contructed for front page and team sites as we speak! lol

Have a good night man, and thanks for taking the time to try and help out again. Its much appreciated.

Can someone explain, and I mean break it down, the following from Instructions, normal?

INSERT INTO datastore (title, data) VALUES ('todaymaxonline', 'a:2:{s:14:\"todaymaxonline\";i:1;s:18:\"todaymaxo nlinedate\";i:1070000000;}')

Thanks, I get everything else, can't figure this out for the life of me!

That is a Sql query. You have to install it in your forums Sql database. You can do it from your admincp or you can do it from PHPmyadmin.
