Hi,
I'm just toying with some changes. One of them being the removal of the top stats.
If you click on your name in posts, you can "view forum posts" which shows you all posts you have contributed to. You can also check your thread subscriptions by clicking 'settings' as mentioned.
The "What's New" button shows you the last 30 posts (so similar to the last 20 the stats showed you) and it also extends beyond just 30 if you keep clicking "more" at the bottom of the list.
You can do everything you did with the top stats with the forum already, it was just an extension which made it viewable on the forum homepage in the footer. It's actualy stopping people from browsing the forum normally so I'm just seeing if this improves general navigation use.
Though I can set the stats for various usergroups so I'll pull it back for Arms and Trusted guys perhaps but not for newer forum users who I want get used to how to browse the forum, and make it easier to do so.
