I thought it was a count of how many moderators u have as in
I have 1 admin 2 super moderators and 2 moderators as in

only two in the membergroup moderators i just thought that would be the way the stats would be shown. However if the way you said it is right then i suppose thats right :P

[akanevsky]

check the attachment it shows browsers with the highest first and compare it to your own they are placed anywhere

Not anywhere. I sorted them by browser name/version. Duh... Though it would be easier to see which is which. I don't like it Bane's way, with browser unordered.

only two in the membergroup moderators

Membergroup "moderators" is just a dummy group, in which you can (OPTIONALLY) put your moderators if you want to give them some extra abilities / or take some abilities away from them. The real moderating power (and database data) comes from actually adding moderators to forums, not from the usergroup in which they are in (unless that is a supermoderator-enabled group, of course).

Yep, that?s it. I took a look at my SQL table and found the same like you!

Nothing to complain, but named moderators are only 4 with a unique user/member-id.

But the point is to users the stats will seem inacurate especially when it counts staff it says there are 17 staff when i only have 2 mods 2 s mods and 1 admin hence i have 5 staff. Power might be in the database data but the membergroups is what makes sense. This is what the other users are refering to when they say the stats for that are wrong

I know. Ok, if you all want it to be that way (e.g. use usergroup/membergroup as the reference), that's how it will be...

In next release, of course. I cannot alter released releases, as that obviously wouldn't make any sense.
