cunoodle2 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It is done via cookies. Try deleting your cookies and then coming back here. You will have to log in as if you were logging in for your first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwk811 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 really? is that the only way you can do it? could it be done with sessions or maybe ips too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adika Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 No, because sessions exists only while the site is in your browser. When you leave the site the session is destroyed.With IP it is not possible eather, because the IP is constantly changing. Check your IP today, and then check it after 2-5 days, and you will see that it changed.Only cookies can store data about the user, and when the user enters the site, the cookie will tell to the site if the user has to be logged in or not.
