Wow!

After having a look at the Statistics page to check the forum's growth, I noticed a very new statistics page for Hints and Solutions Requests.

I didn't know that there have been 460 different requests for help for Dugan's Dungeon, and 13 for my own hold (as yet).

You can even click on the hold to see a level breakdown of the requests for help. Interestingly, Dugan's Dungeon L8 seems to have collected the largest number of requests for help, followed closely (surprisingly) by L3, and then L4.

So, I commend you, Schik, on producing a really cool (and slightly useless) set of statistics for this already great forum, and all integrated into the existing scheme nicely.

Keep up the good work!

However, one thing this new feature has highlighted is the absence of one or two help threads not actually searchable by the board, like this one for Veere's Dungeon:

I guess that's because those are the first 2 level that are puzzles(8 gates of bill etc...)and would need more help. Later on there is also more help that is needed since the puzzles get harder and harder.

Yeah, it can't perform magic.

The problem there is... why isn't that post associated with a room? Dangit, it should be. I'll fix it later tonight when I have more time.

Thanks, I'm glad you like the new stats page. It was pretty easy to make.

Cool!

But it would be even cooler if the level names were links to a search for all the hints/solutions to the rooms on that level...

On that topic, I did a bit more snooping, and discovered these three threads, associated with their corresponding rooms, but not part of the statistics page:

Ah. Yeah, I guess I didn't put a title on the new stats page, saying that it displays the 10 holds with the most help topics. I decided not to show every hold that has more than zero, because as time goes on, the list would get quite huge.

Oops.

Sorry about that.

No problem - I'm sorry I didn't mention it before, or put a title on that table. You wouldn't have wasted time looking for those threads if I had.
