        <title>The Who, What, Where, Why and How</title>
        <para>The &mod.name; modification is intended to provide bulletin board administrators and forum moderators with a capability that heretofore has not been provided by phpBB itself or by community-created mods, namely an overview of how users are using the bulletin board.  This mod can answer such questions as:</para>
        <itemizedlist spacing="compact">
             <!--<listitem><simpara></simpara></listitem>-->
             <listitem><simpara>How often does the user post in a particular forum?  In a particular category?</simpara></listitem>
             <listitem><simpara>In which forums and categories has the user posted the most?</simpara></listitem>
             <listitem><simpara>What percentage of the user's total posts does the user's posts in a particular forum represent?</simpara></listitem>
             <listitem><simpara>How many new topics has the user initiated?</simpara></listitem>
             <listitem><simpara>How frequently does the user start a new topic?</simpara></listitem>
             <listitem><simpara>How many topics in a given forum is the user watching?</simpara></listitem>
        </itemizedlist>
        <para>In short, the &mod.name; mod serves as a valuable tool for boards needing to track the manner in which board visitors are using the board's forums.  By providing moderators and administrators with a single view of a visitor's board usage, their decision-making can be more informed and their management of the board will be more effective.</para>
