Thanks V@no and sorry for asking so many questions. The original post did not clearly state that the other Member's list MOD was required.
I had seen the post referencing the other SQL statement, but it did not clearly state that it was a replacement SQL query if you did not have the Member's list MOD installed.
The new query does the trick. It works fine for me now.
The one question that I have is that in the new SQL query, the first line states:
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(i.image_id) AS user_t_images, u.user_name, u.user_id
as you can see user_t_images is clearly part of the SQL query.
Is that so that this will work for both following scenarios:
1. You have the member's list MOD installed.
2. You don't have the member's list MOD installed, but you want to use this mod?
In other words, 1 SQL statement for two scenarios that will work for both.
Thanks again!
