Is it possible to get visitor screen size with analog 5.22 without using add-ons? Don't see it anywhere in the readme/faq/example files.

Analog only uses your raw log file. And I dont think that includes screen size, at least not mine. So I think the answer is no. Actually its an interesting point, how do those scripts that do report screen size do it? I know some of the live hosted solutions do it.

I know in IIS you can enable all sorts of loggin about a client, including colors, screen size etc... It's just not switched on by default. Other than that you can use ASP script to request it from the client as it's not restricted information according to MS (Although, I don't know what is restricted with MS security loop holes ;)).

My host includes Webstats, which does report screen size so the necessary data is in the logs. It's too bad they've restricted their config so much that the rest of the report is almost useless and access to these stats is not secure so I disabled it and am using analog locally.

I'm really starting to appreciate analog's capabilities. The more I discover, the more I wish to do with it. With screen resolution becoming such an important consideration in page design, it's almost a 'must have' to be able to track it.
