Pugwash Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Guess that won't work, because you won't know what thread/topic the users are reading, so you can know who is loading your avatar 6 User(s) are reading this topic (0 Guests and 0 Anonymous Users) 6 Members: Pugwash, kenberg, chris5264, HighDef, hk45ca, Woody Look in the webserver logs and you can see a referrer URL for each image. You will know what threads they are reading, unless you start storing the page IDs in a cookie-based session. If you control the avatar webserver, you can also force a no-cache on your image meaning it will be loaded every visit, as opposed to being pulled from the user's cache. If it weren't for the fact I think it's a bit rude, I'd knock you up a perl CGI that acts like an image, and does give a mime-type of an image and even outputs an image, but also, when called, greps the referring URL for usernames. It's a lot easier than I first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
