Crap, only just over 100 have posted more than 1000 times. That's insane. But still, a lot of people that do register probably hang around a lot, and they are the ones that search the forum for their answer. There's probably a lot of users with 0 posts.
Good luck with your coding.

There's probably a lot of users with 0 posts.

Here you go:

Code: [Select]
mysql> SELECT COUNT(id_member) FROM smf_members WHERE posts = 0;
+------------------+
| COUNT(id_member) |
+------------------+
|            21514 |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.25 sec)

Why one would register and never post is beyond me though...

That is pretty amazing still. Nearly 30% of the registered members haven't even posted. Would you ever think of performing a clean up of the user database, like... Removing any members older then a certain date with 0 posts. Or with a large inactivity time. Seems like a waste to me.
Good luck with your coding.

Don't feel so special about it. I told him to ask in public.

@kaimason1
What type of login scripts?  User access ?  cURL logins?  Perhaps a little detail could put someone on track to write something for you/the community.

A login script is essentially so simple that it's not even worth dedicating a tutorial for that. Stuff involved is essentially form processing, database access and sessions/cookies. We have a tutorial for sessions and cookies and we have one for database access and another one focusing on joins and unions. Then you have form processing, but that's fairly straightforward. You simply read from the $_GET or $_POST superglobal. You might also be interested in this blog post that talks about breaking a script/application down into logical elements the same way I just did.

Yeah, I believe I did. I don't even think I have the part I already wrote anymore though. If I get time at some point then I'll maybe take a look at it again. I'm pretty busy these days though. Sorry :(

"level system" is pretty ambiguous... care to be more specific?
