No query if on refresh?

[Koutaru]

What I'm basically trying to do is add $$ to the user's account for every page he/she surfs. HOWEVER. The query will NOT add if the person keeps refreshing or hits back or forward

:ermm: is this possible with PHP and queries?

This could add to an insane ammount of querys on your site.

You may wish to give them money instead for, referals, or even thread views.

Yes I know sadly

Well, it would only add one query, an update query to each page which I think would be semi-worth it.. kinda

:/ I'm still considering, but where would I start?

You would be updating the users table, almost every pageview, which will lock the whole table.

if your forum gets busy, this could litterly bring a server to its knees

Are you sure Gaia actualy does it every pageview?

They do have 40~ some odd servers to run their site

I guess I'll hold off on it for now Even though that would be a neat feature..
