Hi WebG,
 
Why don't you remove the stats from the front page for not logged on people so your users are then obligated to log in to see what is going on.

I added this to remove the statistics for the main page at line 750

----------------------------------------------------------%>-------------------------------
'Loop back round for next category
 Loop
End If

If lngLoggedInUserID <> 0 AND lngLoggedInUserID <> 2 Then
%>
<br />
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" class="tableBorder" align="center">
 <tr class="tableLedger">
  <td colspan="2"><% = strTxtWhatsGoingOn %></td>

----------------------------------------------------------%>-------------------------------
 
And also another End IF at line 813
 
----------------------------------------------------------%>-------------------------------
'Response.Write(strTxtInTotalThereAre & " " & intActiveUsers & " <a href=""active_users.asp" & strQsSID1 & """>" & strTxtActiveUsers & "</a> " & strTxtOnLine & ", " & intActiveGuests & " " & strTxtGuestsAnd & " " & intActiveMembers & " " & strTxtMembers)
 If strMembersOnline <> "" Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtMembers & " " & strTxtOnLine & ": " & strMembersOnline)
End If
End if
----------------------------------------------------------%>-------------------------------
 
Just my two cents worth.
 
Cheers
 
Justin

The forum stats use to contain stats of hidden forums, but allot of people considered this a security risk and demanded that it be removed.

Most people that if they hide a forum with no Access they don't want non-privileged people to know it exists, otherwise they would simply select to have the forum display but with a 'no access' sign for the forum, then it would be included in the stats.

Here's what I did in DEFAULT.ASP:
 
Around line 445 or so, I added this:
 
'*******************************
lngNumberOfTopicsNOLOGIN = lngNumberOfTopicsNOLOGIN + CLng(sarryForums(6, intCurrentRecord))
lngNumberOfPostsNOLOGIN = lngNumberOfPostsNOLOGIN + CLng(sarryForums(7, intCurrentRecord))
'*******************************
Then, where the stats are displayed, I added these lines and modified the stat display as such:
 
dim tTopics
dim tPosts
If lngLoggedInUserID = 2 Then
  tTopics = lngNumberOfTopicsNOLOGIN
  tPosts = lngNumberOfPostsNOLOGIN
else
  tTopics = lngTotalNumberOfTopics
  tPosts = lngTotalNumberOfPosts
end if
Response.Write(strTxtOurUserHavePosted & " " & FormatNumber(tPosts, 0) & " " & strTxtPostsIn & " " & FormatNumber(tTopics, 0) & " " & strTxtTopicsIn & " our " & strTxtForums & _
It works exactly for what I want it to do, although I'm sure that I'm missing something or other.    It may be something to tweak for the next release if it's something other people would want as well.

Well, that's not helpful (but I see in the code how that works and it's tied to the new streamlined DB access you've setup).  A lot of our users drop by the front page to see if there have been any new posts made, and if there aren't, they don't sign in.
 
I'll probably yank some code from the 7.9 version to get it working.  
 
Thanks for the reply.

I just upgraded from 7.9x to 8.02.     I have the board locked down (no browsing) unless you're signed in as a user.
 
The forum statistics were displayed just fine for anybody (including guests) who wandered by the main page in the 7.9x system.  
 
Now, after the upgrade, users get this on the main page ONLY after they've signed in.
     Our users have posted 18,161 Posts in 1,115 Topics in 15 Forum(s)
 
What guests and non-logged in people see is this:
     Our users have posted 0 Posts in 0 Topics in 0 Forum(s)
Any suggestions on what needs to be tweaked in DEFAULT.ASP to get the stats displaying correctly if you haven't logged in?   And is this normal / expected behavior?
 
 
ALSO, where would we modify the number of forums being displayed?  While the admins may know that there are 15 different forums, we may not want the users, especially new ones, to know -- I can yank the forum count from displaying I guess, but if it was dynamic for each user...
