i have som code on my page that count all users and save som info from them like "user_agent" but i dont want it to save any info if it is me... is there a way i can check that... ?

i can not just check my IP cos it changes every day...

There is a way to change the name of the browser that is presented. I don't recall how, but if you changed it to something unique, you could add a filter to check for that.

okey ?
i will see if i can find anything about that...
is it possoble to use cookies.. ?

You certainly could. You would have to be careful about deleting cookies, so it wouldn't be a one time fix.

well, i changed the user_Agent in the registry so now the script recognize me... but it only works for IE and iam using Opera, and it is inpossible to change the user_agent for it, i know that i can change it in the propeties-menu but there is no cosom choice...

how do i do it with cookies then... i have been seraching for it... and read a lot of tutorials about cookies... but all of them only describes the basics... any tips on a nice tutorial ?
