So far so simple... To keep it accurate, each time a user enters another forum, it replaces their forum# keyed off their ID# And finally, each time a user refreshes/enters the main page where these totals are shown, if checks for the time against a grace period, lets say 5 min. If that time of entry is older than the grace period, it discounts the record, and ultimately deletes it. Did a similar thing in a web based, frame chat with webdna many moons ago.
