Lack of interest Weekly or monthly statistics represents only daily averages

[argy]

Hello.
We are using the statistics very often to see whats going on in our forum.
In XF 1.5 i am getting for weekly or monthly statistics the total of all datas (new threads, new posts, ...)
In XF2 i am getting these as daily averages.

For example we have following datas (our week starts with monday):

Feb 26 --- new threads - 25 --- new posts - 215
Feb 27 --- new threads - 40 --- new posts - 248
Feb 28 --- new threads - 31 --- new posts - 216
Mar 01 --- new threads - 32 --- new posts - 138
Mar 02 --- new threads - 34 --- new posts - 170
Mar 03 --- new threads - 17 --- new posts - 75
Mar 04 --- new threads - 15 --- new posts - 59

In Total --- new threads - 194 --- new posts - 1121
Divided by 7 --- new threads - 27.17 --- new posts - 160.14

In XF 1.5 my statistic for weekly was:
W09 2018 --- new threads - 194 --- new posts - 1121

In XF 2 my statistic for weekly is:
2018W09 --- new threads - 27.71 --- new posts - 160.14

I would be very happy if the output were as in XF 1.5 because "27.71 new threads" is no meaningfull value for me.

Would it be possible that you make it selectable?
So users who likes to get daily averages can get them and users who likes to get it in total also have an option for?

This is as designed but rather than closing this down, I'll move it to Suggestions for now.

There are some stats where averages are necessary because they're not recorded in a way that allows us to total them up, but indeed there are stats, like these, where averages aren't as useful.

What i did not understand. In 1.5 it works fine, but in 2.0 not.
So it worked once. Unfortunately, it was changed...

 

[Chris D]

Changed deliberately, hence not a bug.

 

[argy]

Is there any option that it will be changed back or selectable?

 

[Chris D]

I've moved it to Suggestions for now, so it doesn't get forgotten. Changes will be considered in the future.

OK. So i hope that it will come with a (near) future version, because the weekly or monthly stats are not usefull in this way (for us).
