sorry guys, i sort of started this yesterday without having time to finish it.
the pbfans style issue has been corrected.
here is the description of the activity meters:
This hack adds an activity metric for users to your forum; this metric takes into account a variable number of weeks (4). Also provided is a Junior/Normal/Senior member system based on this metric, and a longevity metric (user registered time as a percent of the amount of time the first user has been registered).
Visiting each day and posting the configured amount of times per day (6) for the configured number of weeks will yeild 100% activity. Posts are checked individually for each day, so days cannot be skipped then spammed up afterwards. The weight of visiting for the day relative to posting is configurable. Weeks are weighted so the most recent has a bigger impact on the activity percent than the most distant.
When a user logs in with activity above the configured threshold, they are promoted from Junior Member to Member. When they log in with the configured amount of time as Member, they are promoted to Senior Member.
the parts in red are the variables i\'ve set. the parts in bold (ranking system), i currently have disable.. trying to think of 3 good rankings. if anyone has any ideas, hit me.
