Bug with "Total Boards" count in Statistics Center.
Person who is not allowed to access some boards can still see the total count of ALL boards.

For example, if there are 3 open for everyone boards and 1 that only a group of a few people can access, the boards count will display 4 even for guests.

It's bad since it gives away secret boards or show unnecessary information about admin only maintenance boards.

Hello RizAIR and thanks for the report.

The same is true for many other statistics (total post count per user for example).
Statistics are for the entire forum, not for a certain membergroup. I don't think this is a bug, but opinions are welcome. ;)


Take a peek at what I'm doing! ;D

I always looked at this as a something that was meant to be that way. Maybe a better soultion would be an integrated option or a mod.

I am trying to add Forum Stats to the Info Center but can not find the link in Admin Panel to turn it on. How to I allow my members to see the Statistics Center?

Cheers.

Moving this as it's being discussed more recently with more depth in http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=509322.0 (so this is closed as a duplicate)
