logging forum user names/id

[mike]

i read it too quick - i don't know if nginx can log headers. but it
would require it to log a RESPONSE header, which if it does log
headers, i am not sure it logs response headers.

better approach: do it in PHP. it will be much more portable and give
you ultimate control.
