Unlike earlier versions, Last Visit™ 5 does not install itself into the PHP-Nuke users database table. Instead, Last Visit™ 5 assembles it's own users database which it automatically keeps in sync with the PHP-Nuke users database. Last Visit™ will automatically prune accounts which do not exist in both databases. All Last Visit™ database tables begin with lastvisit in the name so they can be easily identified.

When Last Visit™ is initially installed, most database variables are set to zero for all members. The program only begins to populate the database as members login, so there is no tracking information available for each member until that point. If a member never logs in the statistics will remain unavailable until that membership is terminated. Last Visit™ requires time to accumulate information and to really begin to work. Don't expect Last Visit™ to sort out your entire member database the minute it is installed.
