Logging In?

[ManagerJosh]

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction or provide me with some a certain codehack that allows me to do this:

I'm integrating my chat with vBulletin however I don't want everytime a person logging into the chat to trigger the function in vBulletin that makes all posts read.

example:

login via forums, reads posts > enters chat > triggers mark posts read.
login via chat > enters chat > does not trigger mark posts read.

Actually its just that I want to make sure when a user logs in through my chat, it doesn't mark posts read (after being idle long enough).

Youd need to use abit of js to refresh his session somewhere... like a hidden iframe to keep his session alive, otherwise i dont see any other way really

well I was hoping in terms of long run usage that when someone logs into the chat they don't trip what the mark all posts read so that when they do login to the forums they do see what posts haven't been read since the last time they were at the forums and not on the chat.

anyone have any ideas?
