Statistics Integration

[BeingSimplest]

Hi,

In vBB they have a very nice features that allow users to add Board Statistics onto the header of the BoardDisplay, these statistics include newest posts, newest members, etc.

Do you think we should add this in the future rather than having a separated page for statistics. I don't know if there is a modification like this already exists?

many of the portal mods include this sort of thing as a portal block...

However, newest posts, newest members etc are already included on the board index of SMF standard as well... down near the bottom of the index page.

I would not want them in the header, though.

If you're comfortable in working with PHP coding, it's *very* easy to bring it towards the top of the forum (and to have it show up on every page of the forums).  You'll want to work with index.template.php in your favorite theme folder to get it up to the top.
