Have a look at this problem:

I've also had doubts about that, and it stills makes no sense. Why don't vbb devs add a new who's online template when a user is given the "denied access" page? That would really rock, and i think its quite easy to code.

Let me know what u think ;)

That's just the thing, it's not at all easy to code :)

Who's Online is done just by looking at the file name and variables in the URL - nothing else. We would need to have a flag set in the database as to whether the page presented was an access denied page or not. It is possible, but it may well use more resources than it's worth.

We will be looking at ways to do this, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope I'm afraid.

Ok James, no problem, i asked for it, just because i thought it to be easily codeable, if that's not the case, then np at all ;)

It's not a showstopper after all ^_^

I have an idea to make it easily codeable.

Why don't you just substitute the "DENIED ACCESS" page with a redirect to a special denied access page? This way you could very easily track the denied access page just from the URL ;)

Let me know what ya think =)

PS maybe as an option, since it adds a redirection ;)
