Excluding Forums out of the General Stats

[Outland]

I have a little problem that I am hoping someone will be able to help me solve. On our Forum, (where I am ranked as Administrator through its owner), we have general statistics, these work well... but... They are showing statistics for the Lounge and Games area that is being visited the most. Also good, my problem with this is, we have eight boards on the site which should be our bread and butter. These are not being entered into the statistics--- meaning that we are doing something seriously wrong.

My Inquiry:

How can I delete certain Boards, so that they don't show up in the Statistics?

an example of the boards which should be calculated would be:

AMC
ATWT
B&B
DOOL
GH
GL
OLTL
Y&R

The other forums: The Lounge and Games should no longer be listed as they are not the main theme of the site.

Any suggestions?

Appreciate all infos, links, condolences!

Greeting from Germany,

Outland!

I think this is a serious question... is anyone willing to give me an answer before I have to save the thread from page 2 and further, again?

Would be appreciated.

First of all, the statistics don't show anything pertaining to a certain board.

These are the only statistics that are being shown on my forum. Don't know how you get the lounge board in the statistics.

Thank you for your reply!

I know that the statistics don't pertain to certain boards, but the statistic inquiries and results are all reflecting on the Lounge and Games. This is due to the fact that the board was not being frequented for over a year regularly. Now the word is out and we have an enomous increase on Members, I would love to see where the most of them are and so.

The inquiry-criteria to which the Statistics pertain, are reflecting the posts, threads, posters.... in the Lounge and Games boards. These numbers are extremely high. The other boards have only recently been populated and are producing many posts and threads. Still the difference between the Lounge and Games is so vast, that the other boards don't have a viable chance of showing up on the stats at all.

That is why I am looking for a way to alter the Template. It is now important to see how much activity is coming from which boards, who is now the top poster and so on.

Hope you can help!

Thanx again for replying,

Outland!

Here is a build-up of my problem.

In one thread there are over 1000 replies. These are in the Games and the Lounge sections of the Site. The main boards can not compete because none of these will ever have over a 1000 posts within one single topic.

Most active Topics:
Rank___________Replies__________Topic
1______________1082____________Animals A-Z
2______________1071____________The Person Above Me Game
3______________1070____________The Three-Word-Post Game
4______________1054____________HAPPY HOUR
5______________1053____________Movies from A-Z
6______________1049____________Getting to know each other
7______________1048____________Last Letter Starts Next Word
8______________1041____________What are you making for dinner tonight
9______________1040____________Songs from A to Z
10_____________1036____________WORD ASSOCIATION

Our main boards have at the most, 100 posts in a day... the most total posts within a topic will be about 250. The probability of the main boards ever reaching the lowest level on the statistics are about 0.

Hope this helps to illustrate the need to edit the general statistics.

My favorite option would be, to transfer the Games and the lounge to another catagory, just don't know number one; how to do that without loosing data and number two; if this Catagory will be viewed and accessed over the same menu and navigation as the main Forums.... much to ponder... Need help!

Thanx in advance!!!

I get it now, what u exactly wanted.

This should go as a suggestion, because i don't think there is anything that can be done to this in a short period of time. Mods, correct me if i am wrong.

This is a way far fetched off idea to be honest, to give a detailed statistic of what you want.

I don't understand what so far fetched and off about my intent is or if it is now too much to go into detail to describe my predicament. However; I do believe that a reasonable solution is available, even then when one has to go on the PHP level in order to achieve it.

I thank you anyway for taking an interest in my matter.

With any luck at all, a moderator will happen by and will take a look into my query and I will eventually get a definate answer or at the very least, acknowledgement.

Have a great one!

Hello???

[Guest]

There is no way to exclude certain sections of the forums from the stats, the stats are generated by post activity, if there are no posts in a section there will be no stats for that section

If you would like to suggest this in the suggestions section and add a poll for members to vote, It may be implemented by the techs

=> Sugestions Section

Thanks Craig... after eight days... finally an answer! I am extremely grateful. I don't know how to make a poll yet, but will definately get over there to have a look.

Best regards,
Outland!

Not a problem at all

To make a poll, When you start a new thread there is an option at the bottom called "Add A Poll"

Simply add the poll question (Would you like something to tell guests the content is hidden)

In the box below add

Code:

Yes
No
Not Sure....

In that Format and then click "Send", obviously before you send put more information in the post itself

Regards
