The APO has a reporting feature that keeps track of viewer traffic. Until we get a "hit" counter installed, I thought I'd share some of the stats with you. The APO currently averages between 60 to 90 hits per day and 400 to 900 daily page views (topics viewed/read). It seems we have a substantial audience of folks checking us out, but not posting. However, that's an extremely common occurrence with most message boards.

Another interesting tidbit - the "view counts" for each topic within a forum are normally updated only when there's new activity within that specific forum.

On the main message forum page, what is the difference between a "member" and a "guest"?

Rick -

A "Member" is anyone who is logged in - and their name should be visible at the top of the page.

A "Guest" is anyone else who's perusing the APO - an alum without a logon ID, a total stranger who has surfed in or even a member who is not logged in.

Lyn,
Thanks.
