Anybody know what holds the userID throughout the site? is it a cookie or

Thanks

though this is kinda late......

the answer is ... nothing - the UserID is taken from the database on each page (well any that include the 'includes/common.asp' file).

the forum tracks users with a cookie, which contains whats in the User_Code field of the database.

the forum then uses this to figure out who you are and grab details for example your author_id, username and group_id.

if you want to use these then use the following:

Author_ID = lngLoggedInUserID
Username = strLoggedInUsername
Group_ID = intGroupID

hope this helps
