Title: Average Posts Per Day?
Post by: Raineypark on May 18, 2003, 01:31:31 AM
I see that our cousin's list profiles now include our average posts per day along with the actual total.  I don't recall seeing that before.

Is this another forum 'enhancement'?  They're coming so fast and furious it's hard to keep track.

Yes, it is. But you might (or might not ;)) appreciate the feature I just wrote myself (my first PHP/MySQL script done completely from scratch  [9391]) to go along with it. Midnite and I are discussing a few final touches before it debuts officially...

Well, I'm certainly glad that you're enjoying your newly acquired proficiency.

But you know how it is with us Luddites.....never met a change we didn't mistrust.

Raineypark...where is it? I went to cousins...can see total posts, but not per day?

Patti, when I click on your name underlined it brings me to your cousin's profile (NOT the profile that YOU can access to change your signature or add pictures.)

The list appears - Name - Patti
                           Custom Title - (yaddayadda)
                            Posts:  461 (1.04 per day  4 today)


Try clicking on my underlined name and you should see the same thing with my statistics.

(Though why anyone would CARE about anyone else's post/per/day statistic is beyond me, but that's another  conversation!)   ::)

Well, honestly, one could probably ask why anyone would care about three quarters (if not more) of the statistical info that YaBB readily provides to aministrators and/or moderators of its forums, as well as to their members. But I suppose the wealth of statistics are just for fun - a way for people to see what subjects seem to be/have been most popular with members and who has been participating in discussions the most/least. I definitely know that the feature I've just written to go along with the posts per day totals is purely meant for fun and not necessarily an actual comment on people's real-life personas. But you'll soon see what I mean...

Don't worry, Rainey - you have nothing to fear. No one currently posting does...

[nono] You're reading something into what I've said that's not there. But the feature will debut soon enough (just putting a few finishing touches on it) -  and then you'll see everything for yourself. ;)

Okay Patti.....I'm a BIG fan of picking on MB....but even I don't understand what having kids to pick up after has to do with average posts per day!!!  Did I miss something here?   [lghb]

I'm not, like, laughing, but wondering... how do you, um, burn pasta in water?
Title: Re:Average Posts Per Day?
Post by: Raineypark on May 19, 2003, 11:40:20 PM
I think maybe Patti meant that the water boiled over and caused the gas flame to flare.  Hell, I do that every time I boil pasta!!  ;)

Post by: Carol on May 19, 2003, 11:55:21 PM
Or, if you don't put enough water in the pan then the water will boil away leaving the pasta to burn the pan. All you need is a phone call or a crying child for it to happen.

I cook pasta because my Italian husband could eat it 24/7 but I agree with you, Cassandra. I'm sick of it! Now give me some real Southern Fried Chicken-in-a-basket and I'd be in hog heaven.  ;)
