Tip and Tricks.

Someone asked me a similar question so I just thought I will post it here, in case anyone else can benefit from it.

From which PM (Private Message) did this user landed on my Blog / Web Site?

Okay. So your counter tells you someone landed on your blog/website from probably a PM but when you click it you can’t view it. For e.g. the address looks like the following.

http://abc.com/private.php?showpm=yes&mid=12345

Now if you don’t even know the domain (abc.com) you won’t be able to know, but if it’s a domain where you are a registered member as well you can try this. (ofcourse it still wont work in many situations, such as, (a) the PM is between two random members and not yourself. (b) You already deleted that PM.)

But let’s just assume that 80% it is you who is mentioning your site/blog to your friends/users. So it is often you who either sent that PM to someone, or received, but at this point you are not sure which member was it.

Okay all you have to do is, change that number in the address bar, 12345, make it 12346 & 12344. If you were a sender of that PM the counter will be -1 and if you were at receiving end it will be +1. Simple.

Yes, and make sure you are logged into that domain.
