Then how about a "compound key"? User name + IP?

This wouldn't work because some users such as guests, search engine robots, etc. are not logged in, so the only way to track all users is by using IP addresses. Cookies are no good as often you will find cookies don't work or are disabled.

For future version are looking at replacing the present active users with an AJAX version built on top of the session tracking system. This should be allot more accurate.

In the activeUsers function in functions_common.asp, when a user is to be added to the array, the IP address is checked to see if the user is already in the array.

This is causing problems on my forum, because some of my users are behind a firewall, so the first one to login, is the only one shown in the active users list.

Is there any reason, that anyone can see that making this change would be bad?

Use: If saryActiveUsers(2, intArrayPass) = strLoggedInUsername Then
Instead Of: If saryActiveUsers(0, intArrayPass) = strIPAddress Then
