I don't see it am I just missing it Phantom?

Don't worry, Phantom. I had it too and it is now gone.

I've been testing that module and I took it down so I could make a few small changes. I wasn't sure if members would like it or if it just introduced more clutter. I'll reactivate it now and keep it running if you like it. Only members who are logged in can see it.

I normally go to Quick Links and then Today's Posts. I see that the new module has a direct link to Today's Posts so this is one less step.
And after choosing Today's Posts the statistics module goes away.

So I'm good with the new module, a quick status summary and a direct link to new posts.

It doesn't really go away, it only shows on the main forum index page. If you return there you'll see it.

Holy crap, I'm only 500 posts behind the leader RG! I have a Winni forum problem.

LMAO SIKSUKR !!

Sadly I noticed that I am climbing up and catching our beloved Webmaster and he had a three year head start!!

Gotta find me a new hobby for sure

I think it is a great idea. One thing I dislike about forums is the difficulty of seeing your own thread that you start or are part of. An easy reference to any of this information when you log in is a great!

Is it possible to list forum members by date joined? Like and oldest to newest member?

Try this:
1. Go to Members List
2. Select Search Members
3. Select Advanced Search
4. Scroll down to Options
5. Select Order Results by Join Date
6. Select In Ascending Order
7. Select a high number of Users Per Page
8. Hit Search Now
9. Select member and look at their Mini Statistics on the right to see join date

After you do this once you'll probably never do it again.
