My question is this: What and where do I need to put the code that will "CLOSE" connection to the forum when a person has left the site via Xing out the window instead of LOGOUT?

In other words.. If I were to just X out of this window,when I come back tomorrow, it will have me still logged in. But what I'd like to do is as soon as the window is closed, that the connection is broken and the person would need to re-log in..

OR

How could I get it so that when a person DOES return later, that s/he is sent to the correct page?

When a person wants to log in by clicking on the "Members Only" button, they go to the "sign on" page. Then once the member has logged in by putting their username/password in and clicking on the login button,they are then sent to the "members menu" page. But if they have left the site by clicking on the X and closing their browser and then return.. then when they click on the "MEMBERS ONLY" button, they are sent to the "sign on" screen and not to the "Members Menu" page where they should be since they are seen as logged in already.

So.. the answer would need to be either:
1) what to code to make the system see if the person is already logged in and send to a specified page; or
2) what to code to make it so if the members closes the browser without officially logging out that there would be a "time out" on the login for that member.

OK..how many are confused now?

If it would help, y'all can view what I've done so far (MUCH work still in progress here). My site is at: http://lfga.net/indextheme.asp You can "register" then go to "members only" to see what I mean.

Note here: This is a site not launched or made public yet.. so shhhhhh!

Also, any help in the area of coding some of it would be sooo greatly appreciated!!!

I'm integrating Snitz with the ranking all using SQL database..

Solution #2

On the click on the members only button let it go to the normal login page, but so this kind of check before.

All this will be placed at the top of the file after any includes, but before any html


Response.Buffer = true

strName = Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name")
strPass = Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword")

if strName <> "" and strPass <> "" then
     Response.Redirect "MembersMenuPage.asp"
end if

Insert the rest of your code here

Lemme know if that works...It's kinda off the top of my head and I haven't had enough Diet Coke this morning to wake up yet.
