Would appreciate any info any of you lot can give on this topic.
you know on forums, web blogs etc where multiple users can post comments etc. Well some places give info like who is online, who is viewing the pages, where and when posts are made throughout the day etc.
Firstly I guess there are many ways to do this, anyone know any?
Secondly what other ways are there off detecting users on online communities like this. Visual indicators etc.
I have a project to do at uni and first thing I have to do is to find out the various ways of detecting users in online communities and the different ways that this information is used.
Thanks if you can give some info on this.

Thanks for the info...
hotscripts.com - You will find something there!
I used one of these on my web-site for a while, its only worth using if you get alot of visitors, otherwise it makes you feel depresed!
But there are PHP scripts which can handle it, or if you know PHP, you could just get a forum script and edit it to make an interface of a web-site. I have seen this done quite a few times, it works quite well!

Thanks for reposting, and just to prove some of the other users of this forum wrong here's a reply using my Mod! account...
For your uni project you could consider the many ways of tracking website activity. Some blatently display the number of visitors while others do it quietly.
Something like the SSI/CGI solution from www.xav.com gives the owner many statistics. Most importantly the 'referal' data - whether the visitor came from a link or by using a search engine. Many hosts also provide weblogs where the owner can anylize the data in a similar way.
There are lots of products (and ways) that can produce similar results - some showing who is actually online (as per your query). Searching on GOOGLE for visitor tracking etc. will give you lots to go on...
Thanks again -
