ShowProfile -Now displays a calculated "Posts Per Day."
IMO this gives the impression the user is never here, so a new member can out do there stats in 24hrs. I think it should reflect a 30 day or 7 day period, at least it would give the impression that im currently active.
I'm guessing if i left the forums for 6 months and come back i would be growing zeros 0.001 posts. . .. .
Sorry i'm all for promoting positive numbers to show activity on a forum.
I like this idea a lot!
I'll put some simple math together to provide a 30-day count. If the user account is newer than 30 days old, they will get a "NA" rating. If the user has barely posted in 30 days, their "Posts Per Day" number will slowly approach zero until they are at 30 days. Then it will be 0. And finally; If they havent logged in within 30 days to post, the number will read as "NA". Again, this count will all be based on posts within the past 30 days.
User Rating is opening an old wound....
You rate someone 1 this week because of a misunderstanding and a fall out, and then you kiss and make up but you can not update your rating.
The ratings only seem to work for topics in my experience.
I can totally see your point. The current Member Rating system is setup like a voting system. Where instead, it should be set up as something that can either go up or down... Ratings

I'll get in there and produce some code to allow updating of a previously rated user.
If you have additional views on these solutions, I'm all for working them out together.
Always good stuff from you, Mark. Thanks!
