texte = Hey Gary, Just off the top of my head, here's how I might attack this: 1. Set up a database BoardLogin.db 2. Assign all visitors a cookie that expires after a reasonable amount of time (both guests & those logged in) 3. Keep same cookie, but change expire time after each page request. (If someone has their browser open to your board, but hasn't loaded a new page in 5 minutes, it's my guess that they're no longer "active") 4. Everytime a page is loaded, have it do a search of BoardLogin.db for all data w/ an expire date/time greater than or equal to now. hth, andy On Thursday, December 11, 2003, at 08:41 AM, Gary Krockover wrote: > Actually would be OT as I'm wanting to apply this to a webdna bulletin > board that I have on one of my sites, but if you go to a vbulletin > board (ex: > http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=160 ) > they have a (# viewing) next to each thread.
