Note: Changelog at bottom.
I have done some more work on the user statistics page tonight. I have now included an option to pick your resolution.
Please update your profile (scroll to the bottom) to pick your resolution. If you didn't see the comments on the previous article, you can now hide your details so it won't appear on your profiles at all (so your details will be properly anonymous).
I am continuing to developing it even if I don't talk about it on GOL much (Levi will back me up with git logs!). You can also follow my coding failures on Twitter if you desire.
Today I have refactored the stats generation and the actual page that displays it to make it much easier for me to add in new graphs. This took a while to get right, but it means I can add new graphs if I want to/if the community want them a lot faster than before.
I have also done some back-end changes to make managing the graphs easier. Not quite where I want it yet, but getting closer.
It may seem slow, but it's getting there. It may be in a state soon where I can set it up to regenerate the graphs automatically. The code is there, but I am doing it manually until it's at a point where I'm happy for it to be done automatically. Once that is done I will enable people to pick previous graphs to display and we can talk about them more!
I have as suggested changed the order on the RAM graph to go from lowest to highest RAM, instead of being sorted by total users. I think it makes more sense after thinking on it as it looks more naturally structured for reading it.
Once I am happy for it to automatically generate, I will work on the actual survey page to allow more specific gaming questions and for people who don't have accounts here on GOL to participate in it too.
I will do a regeneration soon when more people have added their resolutions, I did a quick one just now so the stats page is up to date right now.
I have to say though, I do love the stats page. I am really surprised at just how many Arch users we have visiting us, wow!
If you have more suggestions for it then fire away in the comments, would love to know what features you would find useful on it.
If you like what I do with GOL, please consider supporting me on Patreon. If not, no worries I love what I do!
Ps. Sorry for the downtime tonight, totally my fault, big thanks to Levi our awesome server admin for fixing up my misshap.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
Nice work so far. I like the changes. If I had one gripe though, it'd be with the RAM. Is having all 64 choices really necessary? I think the current selection in the graph is good: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 64. Maybe put 1GB and "Other" in there as well. I mean really, who's going to have 37GB of RAM? :P
Also, I don't see any way to get to the user stats page outside of this article and the current stickied notification on the main page. Maybe put it in the sidebar? I don't know.

Quoting: operaSteamOS is missing in the Linux Distributions graph.No, graphs are limited to 10. All others simply don't have enough users to register on it.
I will look into a "view all" link so people can get a full list if they desire.

I am also still deciding on the best place to link to the stats page.

Soon we will start seeing more 5k and 8k monitors in use. Also is anyone using a 4096 x 2160 pixel screen? DCI standard or something, are those wider?

Quoting: liamdaweI am also still deciding on the best place to link to the stats page.Maybe with the GOL Footer ? (This one is just a random suggestion). Also in the "view PC info" section, computer info section on users profile, and their user CP (Would be great to have a link to the CP on one's profile page, too).
It might be interesting to put percentage numbers next to the "view PC info" or user profile items. Like : RAM 128GB (0.2% of users). Not necessary per se, but might be cool anyway :)

Quoting: liamdaweHow about a single, eleventh "others" entry instead with everything under the threshold added up? You could list the individual distros in this entry's tooltip (using the <title> SVG element) if the graphs allow it.Quoting: operaSteamOS is missing in the Linux Distributions graph.No, graphs are limited to 10.

Arch is indeed a great distro, but I'm a Ubuntu MATE loyalist (I contribute to its development) and I have found (using Manjaro) that a few games don't run under the Arch architecture, so it's Ubuntu MATE for me.
Thanks for the update screen!

Quoting: MyeulCI have added it into the view pc info box, good idea. I've also added a link to edit your profile at the top of your profile too, another good idea.Quoting: liamdaweI am also still deciding on the best place to link to the stats page.Maybe with the GOL Footer ?

Quoting: tuubiYes, I like this idea. I will experiment and see how easy it will be for me to implement an "Other" bar.Quoting: liamdaweHow about a single, eleventh "others" entry instead with everything under the threshold added up?
