Is there any way to detect whether or not a user is logged in using JavaScript or PHP? I'd like to use JavaScript to tweak my forum thread displays for logged in users, but haven't seen any elegant methods so far for detecting this.

Simple Auth widget work for you? Second sticky in this forum. There is a php script attached that can get you started.

Thanks for the suggestion. We've actually figured out my original question, but the SimpleAuth script looks like it could help us solve another problem quite efficiently. Thanks.
