So I need your help or input.
I need to add as few hacks as possible, to track stats on our forums.
I found a profile stats hack that would show the age of the users but I really need to be able to show my boss a page and show all the stats..

So I'm asking what hacks you use to track your members and guest.


thanks

what do you think of vbtrends?
the built in stats in the admincp?
we use google analytic as well

[Caddyman]

i like vbtrends, the little green stuff in the stats box on forumhome, its a nice little indicator of stats.

yes the built in acp stats stuff

goog analytics is good, woopra was great, i hope they get some faster servers and upgrade so i can use them reliably. i would probably pay to have a solid, fast, version of woopra.

What type of stats are you looking for? Traffic and such? Or like something in specific?

[Brandon Sheley]

demographics

Analytics is best for that I think, but they have a couple like ips to geo location ...Something like this

IP2Map.com - Track visitors to your website using map for free

Though I dont know how many users would like their ips visible..But you could prolly hide it from there

But they have some like that you pay and private

Vb but old version

You could use the e-steki statistics hack.

yup, this is the one I've added to a few forums already.
I'll check out the ip mapping deal when I get back home.
So far, I think with the help of this hack ^ and analytic and woopra I'll have a good idea.

but I'll check out the ip map one, and I'm still interested in more options
