Hi Tim,

That's exactly what I'm trying to do.  All I want is a counter that counts down from 15 minutes for every person who logs on without using the database, i.e., using session/application variables.  Seems like this script can almost do it...it just needs one more bit of cleaning up.  But maybe not?  I hadn't considered the fact that CFID isn't really unique.  Not that it matters since this is nothing but eye candy (i.e., I slug the value up there on the right corner of the site).

But you know, I also wanted to know WHO exactly was "online," i.e., has made a request in the last 15 minutes.  The login system carries the ID (a number, session.UserID) of every user, so I can easily do this by keeping another application structure.

I can actually do this -- I'm just being lazy.  But if you want to take a whack at it, it'll be very appreciated.  I've been coding for a while, but I haven't really dealt with many login issues at all, as it was coded by somebody else and it's been working just fine all this time.  And, as you can see, I wasn't astute enough with the current script I was using to see how awful it was, so any expert advice would be fantastic.
