Hi guys

Is it possible to stop people logging in under one username at the same time? I'd like to prevent two people for example logging in at the same time with a particular user id.

If this isn't possible, is it possible to identify when this is happening?

Many thanks

Yes it would be possible but not without some modifications. From what I gather you could have some sort of timeout (say 5 minutes). When you log in your computer name can be stored in the database and if the timeout passes next time you log in again the new computer name is checked and possibly stored in the cookie. Then if the second user logs in with the same name the computer name is checked and the user is not allowed to get in.
