New Community Statistics, Status, New Members pages

[Wise Young]

In case you have not noticed, we have a bunch of new links in the front top of the page... including a link to three featured polls that people can vote in. It took a little while to figure out the way to do without taking much space.

• Community statistics. This is similar to the previous forum statistics page, giving the same information but in slightly more compact form.

• Community status. This is an article that I wrote (after analyzing the access logs for this and the carecure web sites) to assess what our community does with the two sites.

• New Members. I thought that it might be useful for people to be able to see what new members are joining our site. The list gives the most recent 50 members, whether they have a public email available, and where they come from (if they indicate).

• Featured polls. This simply takes three of the polls that have had the most number of voters, to try to encourage people to vote on the polls and get the numbers up to 100 or so, so that we can answer the questions asked. I decided to show the results in the hopes that this would impel some people to vote. If people click the "Cast Your Vote" link, it takes you to another page where you can vote on all three of the polls. When the number of votes get to 100, I will rotate others.

Wise.
