The will do if setup correctly as they give the page URL the user is looking at, for example in the log files you would have:-

2007-12-20 00:03:35 GET /forum_posts.asp TID=25039&PID=129615 - 65.55.208.169 HTTP/1.0 msnbot/1.0+(+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm) - 200 0 49472

This shows what page the MSN bot locked at and the which post, if you follow the link you would go directly to the topic.

If the log files are a bit to RAW for you then there are loads of log file annalist programs that you can get. We use SmarterStats Enterprise which has over 140 different reports with loads of information including browsers, were they come from, etc.

Is there really much point as all you are doing is duplicating the data in the IIS site logs.]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2007 17:26:32 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/activity-log-file_topic25039_post130256.html#130256 <![CDATA[Activity Log file : Maybe in a furture release webwiz...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/activity-log-file_topic25039_post130253.html#130253 Author: DartingAround

Maybe in a furture release webwiz could have an option to turn on logging for this purpose.

There are some ip address I would like to track to see what forums they look at!
 
Thanks guys!

There isn't as this would mean setting insure permissions on the server and effect performance, especially on busy forums where everytime a user clicked a page you would need to load in a log file add another line to it and then save it back to the server.]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2007 11:03:44 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/activity-log-file_topic25039_post130238.html#130238 <![CDATA[Activity Log file : I have our raw server stats......]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/activity-log-file_topic25039_post130230.html#130230 Author: DartingAround

umm. theres sort of if you count the Raw Log files the server produces, which could be tracked by IP address.

You could also look at Google Analytics, and you could add the username to the google stats

Hello WebWizARDS
 
Is there a way to see what a certain user did while in the forums. Either via name or ip address.
 
Wasn't sure if there was an activity log or not!
