Not that this bothers me, but I thought Zuni might like to see this. Look at this thread and check the last time NJLOAD posted, then look at his profile. It says he last visited on December 6th, 2001 8:56 AM

 
bunker the web is stateless, the only way I know you are there is by client side cookies. So if the user says no i dont want you to set the cookie named LASTVISITEDDATE then the app will never read it as its never there that is how the app updates when you were last here, just like 99.9% of all web based apps that do that sort of tracking 🙂.
 
So, how is it that you can check the last time someone visited when they are not logged in? I assumed it was a field in the database that was set when a user logs in.

I guess what I'm getting at is where is "last visited on December 6th, 2001 8:56 AM" coming from when I check his profile?
 
Bunker simple,

If the cookie exists the field in the db is updated, if not the field is not updated thus the profile will reflect the last time the field was updated as a result of the cookie existing.
