I was afraid of that answer. :) > Dunno if this package may be what you are looking for: > http://pear.php.net/package/Auth_PrefManager Hmmm, I thought that package would do something similar to LiveUser...

I am not a pro in programming and my terminology and my English is certainly far from being sufficient for this kind of details. It looks like. Sorry for that. I really appreciate that you had the endurance to go with me through this discussion!!! Now I have my questions really gotten answered. I am sorry to have spoilt so much time of yours, I try to become more correct terminology-wise in the future. :) That saves both of us time, I know. Best regards and thanks again, Marko
