Posted - 09 May 2008 : 05:34:40 also be aware that it will not actually do what you think, it won't make a sound unless I actually refresh or change pages, so it won't actually beep when someone logs in at all.< |

Posted - 09 May 2008 : 04:34:03 Straight off, I can tell you you're going to need the active users mod to achieve this.
You could run it off the M_LASTHEREDATE field in the MEMBERS table but this would play your notification whenever a member marked all topics as read on active.asp as well.

Posted - 08 May 2008 : 12:54:54 My forum is a private forum and has very few members and they are requesting this. If you can help, it will be greatly appreciated.< |

Posted - 08 May 2008 : 12:31:13 It's possible, yes. But think how annoying that would be on a very active forum? There's at least one with tens of thousands of users. The voice would never finish completing the announcement.< |
