The problem is that we have static mirrors. The ads needs to rotate dynamically though, so (I presume) ads.postgresql.org sends an image and a cookie. When someone clicks on the link, it uses the cookie to know which image they clicked on. So, sessions would not help. There are some more advanced tricks that could work (e.g. AJAX) but probably overkill. Although ads.postgresql.org could in theory also track the IPs that they send the image too and try and match that way if the cookie was not found. That should fix it 99% of the time, I would think. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200509061432 https://www.biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAkMd4VsACgkQvJuQZxSWSshylgCdFLPcZSvPne2W4uBk5yDIVd1T TPcAoOcMXKdxqDcedMDbukQvQ4eTlPu/ =+amj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
