Thoughts that ran through my head ... 1. If your not going to help in this forum, take your mouse pointer and stick it where it does some good.
2. You found a life slamming people in forums. Have a nice day and thanks anyway. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "David Smart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thoughts that ran through my head ... > > 1.

The stuff you're collecting will not tell you whether members are sharing passwords anyway. IP addresses of machines change regularly (for dial up users at least) and there's no reason why a member shouldn't use more than one machine anyway. (On a regular basis I access the web from any of four machines at home, three of the same machines at work - but with different IP's because of a different ISP - and two other machines at work. Different IP addresses - but same me.) > > Dave S > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: jenksonu > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 8:15 AM > Subject: Re: [ASP] Logging website visitor information > > > Membership tracking > To keep members from sharing passwords! > I would like to get more information to catch members cheating. > > > --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Shawn K.
