Been playing around with the /log pages. Instead of just showing every hit, now it displays refering pages ranked by the frequency of referers (I know I keep spelling 'referer' wrong, but that's because it is misspelled in the W3C spec, and now everyone misspells it that way.) These totals are true for the time range specified at the top of the page (max 30 days, but they haven't been on that long.)
If you have turned the logs on (through /editpage) then the system is keeping track of every hit to your page. But now there are more options in /editpage for how you want these results displayed. "No logs", obviously, doesn't keep track of anything. "Complete logs" tracks and displays every hit. "Complete logs (but not you)" tracks every hit, but doesn't count hits by you in the tally. "Complete logs (but not members)" tracks every hit, but doesn't count hits by any members including yourself. Switching back and forth between any of the three versions of logs won't change the totals, just how those totals are reported.
The system is set by default to only keep records for 30 days. It checks for and purges any older records every time you look at /log (after you look though, so if you don't look for some time you will see everything on the first look, and then only those within one month afterwards.)
i like this style log but its also nice to know who has hit your site recently.

Yes, I agree. I'm thinking about how to do this. What if under the present table there was a chronological list of hits (like how the logs were before today) showing just the hits since you last looked at your logs?

that would be great. i was thinking something like the number in the left hand column would be red if that number was new or had changed since last time you were there. either approach would be fine.

im not sure if you are working on it now but the red numbers dont seem to recognized when ive been to the log page because i will hit reload and the numbers remain as they had just been.

Yeah, I was working on it. I think it's correct now.
