This has probably been asked a bunch of times.
I've searched but I can't find it anywhere.

My Forum Stats box is showing 158 as a max online count.
Probably never was that high, but
How can I reset it so it starts reflecting reality?????

Thanks

then it can recalculate from 0 again

I'm not sure if it's safe to change the values, but max_online and max_online_timestamp are found in the CACHE table, which I discovered via /cache_builders/forum_stats.php

I'm curious about Max Online as well since mine says 256 last July -- does that include Spiders? Not sure. I'm also not quite sure how to decipher timestamps such as "1183714938". I'd probably leave that stuff alone, big numbers sound impressive lol, but maybe someone who knows better will chime in.

PS - Greetings from Toms River

Edit: I should've reloaded to check for responses. SD - Would max_online_timestamp need to be reset as well?

Thanks, Sirdude.
That worked just fine.

yes/no -- since i set max_online to 0, the next time it does a compare will guarantee a new max_online value of at LEAST 1 AND its associated new timestamp...

so that's why i didn't care about the time stamp

Max on line counts all users such as guest, registered, and bots from what I can see. I only have a max of 4 bots in my site at any time so thats not much of a problem.

yah, i remove the bot count (for my site), since i wanna just count eyeballs.

i guess, it should be eyeballs divided by 2, except for peeps with eyepatches

Converts a normal date to a unixtime stamp used by UBB.threads or vica versa.

I just use "date":
