Nothing. User stats are disabled for everyone because people were using it to DDoS the forum.

I might've figured it out. A bunch of things are currently disabled; I'll work on safely enabling them in the coming days.

Ok but what does DDos mean? Then how can I find my Profil ID?

The forum was being attacked. That's all you need to know.

To find your profile id, just click at your username next to your post and look at the url.

DDoS - Distributed Denial of Service

Pretty much because using the user stats link grabs a lot of data from the database that when a good number of user tries to view the user stats, the site slows down. Chances are some a**holes took advantage of this to slow down or crash the site for some reason.
