Well, if you take a look in the textfile ztsky zipped, then you'll find a line like this:
2*$userinfo[posts]+$personal0[personalviews];

To keep it real simple, this hack produces a number of how active that user is on your forum, that's the personal glamour and I like it

<td><normalfont>$starts</normalfont>

I think personal views would be a better name.

Personal glamour could mean many things

[Me2Be]

I'm still confused - what exactly does this hack do?

[Mark Hewitt]

Number of threads you have viewed (I think)

Hi Ztsky! What exactly do you mean by "how active"? Number of times they view a thread? Number of times they visit your forums?

[mrlister]

This hack is really good. I really like it. You can use it as a activity level. It's very simple to customize. How you want to customize it. Look here
2*$userinfo[posts]+$personal0[personalviews]

In this equation it will take the total number of posts the user has times it by 2 and add the total of views the user has. So if that user has 10 posts and has viewed 50 threads his activity level would be at 70. You can make it so it divides by 100 to use smaller numbers. Only thing missing is replies which would be nice. Ok I came up with this little add-on. There are two types of installations.

People who use tubedoggs User started X threads hack do this:

***Go to member.php and find

  $startcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(title) AS starts FROM thread WHERE postuserid='$userinfo[userid]' AND open!='10'");
  $starts = $startcount[starts];
  if ($starts == ""):
	  $starts = "0";
  endif;

***Below that add

$personal0 = $DB_site->query_first("
    SELECT SUM(views) AS personalviews FROM thread WHERE postuserid='$userinfo[userid]' AND open!='10'");
$activity01= $userinfo[posts]-$starts;
$activity02= $starts;
$activity03= $personal0[personalviews];
$personal= 3*$activity02+2*$activity01+$activity03;
  if ($personal2 == ""):
	  $personal2 = "0";
  endif;

People who are doing a clean installation do this:[code]
***open member.php and find

     eval("\$birthday = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_birthday")."\";");
  }

***below that add

  $startcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(title) AS starts FROM thread WHERE postuserid='$userinfo[userid]' AND open!='10'");
  $starts = $startcount[starts];
  if ($starts == ""):
	  $starts = "0";
  endif;
$personal0 = $DB_site->query_first("
    SELECT SUM(views) AS personalviews FROM thread WHERE postuserid='$userinfo[userid]' AND open!='10'");
$activity01= $userinfo[posts]-$starts;
$activity02= $starts;
$activity03= $personal0[personalviews];
$personal= 3*$activity02+2*$activity01+$activity03;
  if ($personal2 == ""):
	  $personal2 = "0";
  endif;

That's it. There's probably a cleaner way of doing the $activity01,02,03 thing but i'm still learning. Please not that i wish no credit for this. i have simply just put the two together and all thanks should go to ztsky and tubedogg. For the rest of the instructions download the file.
