Can't reply to your thread because I'm taken to a nice shot of the universe every time I try.

See if it works now.

Testing, testing... So far everything seems to be in working order...

Added later: Oops... Maybe I spoke too soon? Forum statistics two seems to be lost in space, and I note that the number of registered posts have decreased quite a bit for several people (house cleaning?).

If you're talking about the statistics links... Which I doubt you are...

There will be inconsistencies because the two statistics hacks - well, I've not really gone through either is so far as to specifically what they're doing (where / how they're getting their numbers) by manually parsing the php and related code. I've had to edit php scripts to insert triggers. On the original install everything went well - way back. I've tried to keep the original table in the database which may be what's screwing things up as this is a newer version and I may have missed something. I'll be looking at it.

In Statistics One, I told the counters not to look at the 'Coffee Break' forums for its numbers. I cannot restrict forums in this way in Statistics Two. Thus, if you look at each you will see inconsistencies in several areas.

I think you're responding to this:

I did make one change to the forum software preferences which will definitely be noticed. In a thread the number of posts for a poster is stated. I changed the preferences so that posts to threads in the 'Coffee Break' forums do not 'count'. I did this because I'm really a lot more interested in having a number related to posts in forums relevant to the site's original intent. The Coffee Break forums are play forums if you catch my drift.

You really know how to hurt a guy! Cut my numbers in half. Yes, I'm just a fun guy! Regardless of the numbers, there are no merit badges for the number of posts, I'd take these threads over some of that pompus drivel in those "relevant" threads, anytime.

Yep... So I did... No worries though, I was just wondering.
