Has anyone deciphered how the forum's "last here date" works, i want to include that in the rest of my site...

i am thinking that setting a Session Variable and if that session doesnt exist then write to the DB the last here date and set the variable..

that sound about right ?

Sound about right.
The retrieving and storing is done by the function ReadLastHereDate(UserName) in inc_functions.asp
An example of how it is used you can find in active.asp:


if IsEmpty(Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date")) then
	Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") = ReadLastHereDate(strDBNTUserName)
end if

Last thing to remember is that it is stored in the format YYYYMMMDDhhmmss
