What's going on- suggestion

[Guille]

I have changed the wording of the "Total Users in Last 24hr" section so it is less confusing.





Previously we had this:

Total Users in Last 24hr: 420 (105 members and 315 guests)

Problem here is that it seems to imply unique members and guests which is misleading because it is counting multiple visits separately. I have changed the wording to the following:

User Visits in Last 24hr: 310 (54 by members and 256 by guests)

I think this is better because it does not imply, or at least implies less strongly, that the visits are unique.

If just noticed a problem with this. In this it talks about the last 24 hours, which doesn't mean today. But the members on the list of member visins is of the ones today. could you change any of the two, so that they can co-operate? I think it would look better, just an idea.

Hi Guille,

I'll revisit the source of the "last 24hrs code" that I'm using. I recall that there was a version that re-started the count for the current day, but I think that it was unreliable or not adjusted for timezones or something. I'll check it.

Also, I'm not sure if both of these numbers should be based on the same time interval. I might need some more convencing. If both counts start from the same time, either 24 hours previous or start of the day, then the larger numbers are just telling how many members/guests came back multiple times. I'm not sure if that is useful. The way it is now the daily count starts over from 0 each day, and the last 24 hours count does not recycle but is a running total. Both of these values are interesting, I think.

Anyway, let me know. I'd be glad to change it if it improves readability and adds value. I'm just not sure yet if it does.
