I dunno, somehow it just seems to make sense to post a question about possible additional features in the beta thread, rather than the finished thread.
I was digging around in the archives last week, and found an old mod (written for gold or SP1) which I updated for 1.3.1 for testing purposes. (Simple changes ... some spacing, and converted a search and replace to search and add after. Always prefer search and add to replace ... less troublesome for uninstalling, when more mods have been added on.)
Anyway, this old mod adds a small list to your board index showing the most popular (busy) thread for today, this month, and forever. And as far as I can see, it works. But it is a fairly small bit of information to take up a section of its own on the board index.
What about a small section of stats in the over all info that provides the top items for the last day, week, and month. Like the top poster, topic starter, thread posted to, and thread read for the three time periods mentioned above ... perhaps under a heading of Recent History.
Not a huge amount of data, or multiple people or anything, just one small additional section. What do you think about the idea?
Oh, and if anybody wants to see the old mod I'm referring to ... for at least a few days, you can see it in the info center, here:
