Counting Logins (Activity Check)

Is there a way to count the amount of times a member has logged in>?
If not ho hard would it be to keep track of that>?

It´s really easy but in my eyes useless!
there are ppl very active on a board, but they log in only once@month!

and other ppl log in each day five times but they stay only for seconds on the board!

better is to track the time an user is online on the board...

just my 2.5 cents

Well I understand the reasoning. But my promotion system work on amount of logins within a specific period. I know that it is subject to abuse. But  that is our current system.
Maybe I can change it but at the moment I would like to know if that is possible. You mention it is an easy mod to make. Could you please help me or at least point me in the right direction.

i think counting on the login times is not fair
if a user sets login to forever (saves the login in the cookies), he wont get any increase in the login total
and as u said, it can be abused easily

however, if u still want to make it:
- make a new column in members table, probably something like: `loginTotal` INT(10) NOT NULL
- code the increment in function Login2() in LogInOut.php, just make something like: UPDATE {$db_prefix}members SET loginTotal=loginTotal+1 WHERE...

thanks in advance.
