Hi,
I am hoping I could add a little tidbit of info on my Forum Home display that, similar to "Total Posts: xx" and "Total Threads: xx" says something to the effect of "Total Posts Today: xx"
In an ideal world, it would only count posts on that particular day, thus resetting to zero at the midnight hour. It seems like something that should be pretty easy...
(but also makes me wonder, from an efficiency standpoint, if it's a good idea to be counting and re-counting all of the posts that day each time somebody loads the page...)
Also, I did do a search for this and only came up with a thread from almost a year ago where somebody asked a similar question but got no response.
So if anybody has a simple solution, thanks in advance! As you can see I am a PHP/MySQL newbie... learning a bit here and there... thanks!
