📊 Modern Statistics v1.1.0 Release Notes

📅 Release Date: 2026-01-20
👤 Author: Illusion
🧷 Compatibility: phpBB 3.2.0+

✨ New Features

🚫 Group Exclusion for Most Active User

  • Exclude specific user groups from the "Most Active User" (Top Poster) statistic
  • Perfect for excluding Administrators, Moderators, or Bot accounts
  • Multi-select interface in ACP settings
  • Hold Ctrl to select multiple groups

🎨 Theme Selection

⚡ Performance Improvements

🚀 Optimized Database Queries

Reduced 5 database queries by using phpBB's built-in config values:

Before (Custom Query) After (phpBB Config)
COUNT(*) FROM users $config['num_users']
COUNT(*) FROM topics $config['num_topics']
COUNT(*) FROM posts $config['num_posts']
SELECT username ORDER BY regdate $config['newest_username']
MIN(post_time) FROM posts $config['board_startdate']

Result: ~50-75ms faster page load
