pmwww | | Advanced Stats (9th Mar 08 at 2:57am UTC) | | This is one thing that I think would work great; if you were to offer an Integrated Advanced Stats system. 
It would be in the admin panel, and would show such information as which categories/boards are most active, what time during the day the forum is busiest, what parts of the world most of the users are from [IP-To-Country], things like that.
This would aid admins a lot, as it could help them target certain areas of their forum based on what people like/dislike most. | |

How about adding " the most used browser or resolution"? I could this see helping a lot of admins especially designers. | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Advanced Stats (9th Mar 08 at 10:17am UTC) | | | My only concern with this, is that logging & processing that kind of information can put a lot of strain on the server. And a lot of other services already offer those kinds of stats plus a lot more. Google Analytics for example. | |

I thought about the Google Analytics services prior to posting this, but if this were to be added, it could be much more customizable and integratable.
Admins could show the stats on their forums, with the layout they please, it could be incorporated into the API, and it would be available directly from the service rather than going to third-party sourced.  | |

pmYesh im sneaky! | | Re: Advanced Stats (23rd Mar 08 at 1:02pm UTC) | | | but still the strain on the servers would be too much, most forums members don't even understand the feature. Perhaps it should be actived by admin only, and default disabled. but honestly its not worth the strain it will have on the server, just too much. Maybe in future once things expand more. | |
Now obsession rules my mind
This commotion makes me blind
Searching out who ever runs
Or has stolen away my life
But i've already said
Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end has come
So now I come for you.... |

pmwww | | Re: Advanced Stats (25th Mar 08 at 7:41pm UTC) | | Maybe this could be a paid feature ross?, that way their wouldnt be as much strain on the server
Ohh, didn't think of that.
Yes, that would be quite sexy; that way vForums gets money in, as well as the feature being implemented. | |

I think two plans would work nicely. One basic plan for free members, with not many stats [basic, general info] and then for paid members things like "Board Activity" and "Countries Visiting" and whatnot. | |

pmwww | | Re: Advanced Stats (2nd Jun 08 at 9:05am UTC) | | | As I stated before, I am well aware of third-party stat services available. However, as I also stated before, none would be as flexible and integratable with the system as having it built-in. | |

pmwww | | Re: Advanced Stats (2nd Jun 08 at 7:23pm UTC) | | | Oh ok. But I love this stat system, works very good to my taste. And if we have to pay for some of the features, I most likely wont be using that part if it gets implemented. | |
