Send a private message with 'sneaky inside information' - like dollar amounts, but change the number for each user - whoever rats will be identified by the uniqueness...

Everything in a url after ? is considered a variable - a script to say boneyard.com/?d=34256 is transparent to the forum (so long as you dont use one of their variables.

Then its just a matter of adding + ?<userid> to EVERY link on the site. That can be done in css I think...

It has to be a code that identifies the user that browses the forum, like letters and numbers, so that noone notices it in the URL that is printed at the bottom of pages when printed off.

Otherwise it is defeated by a sharpie black marker.

Can't you just put the IP number and format it as a number for example saying generated in 0.722322222 seconds and add to the end of the page like here?

IP won't tell us anything tho, because it is most likely being viewed at a station computer and none of that info will be available to us.

See the forum is private. So the only way the gov't is getting these printoffs of what people have said is that some card-carrying union member is backstabbing the rest of us (3500 union members and their families), hoping for an upper management position payoff.

That's really low. Doesn't it seem like a good idea to identify this individual(s)?

dont forum username databases have a primary key OTHER than the username (like entry number in the database)...

cant be too hard to add a column with a random number in it...

OOH - add a script that generates a nearly-transparent gif that has one of those barcodes we were playing with the other day.

open source script can generate the files...

Actually, I think there is some merit to this....instead of an IP number, the user's member number could be the first few digits in the "Generated in 0.xxxx34567 seconds" bit.

Now, what kind of code would that require?

find the script that types the document.write (or whatever) 'page generated in blablabla' and insert a query to the user table.
