Well, nevermind on that one. It seems to only happen if the cookie path is set to a subdirectory, Which it won't be on the real live site.

So, it can be done from the session table.

1. add the pagecounter column

2. after the query in this section // check for session sent through URL/cookie
increment the pagecounter.

3. Make sure to change the modify and insert queries to include the pagecounter.

Saved two queries for ya, Bob. (But, you'll have to check the location if you only want it done on forumhome)
