Exciting I know. 3.1 has two rather significant additions and one major fix. I have always thought about adding these two features but finally decided to see if I could figure it out. You can now sort the stats by different columns: screen name, clicks, avg clicks per week, and last visited. Give it a try. :)

Average clicks per week is of course the new stat. This is a great stat to find out who ends up as the most active clicker. ( I have also added it as a mouseover for overall user stats) I thought it would be as easy as just dividing the total clicks for each user by 7. But as I saw the results, I realized that was completely wrong because it depends on when you first got tracked. Seems confusing? Well, I was. :) For example, someone new visits the site today and now has 1 click. That should be an average of 1 click per week since this is his first week being tracked. On the other hand, a user who has 1 click 110 days ago should be around .06 clicks per week. Ahh. . . Maybe I'm just a bit slow =\

This means changes to how AimStats 3.1 works. I had to add a new field that keeps track of the date when they first visisted. So those of you who are using aimstats, you have to delete your table and let aimstats make a new one. I would create a way to update it without having to delete your table but I'm not that bored. :( Also, a very important fix was made earlier today in the script. I noticed a few people complaining that the date last clicked was not working correctly. Well that was because of a typo, and it is now fixed.

Expect it to be on the site some time this week.
