Abstract
Where a user logs on to a web page server, the server can maintain a history of links to web pages hosted by the server to indicate which links are visited by the user. In consequence, a user may log on to the web page server from any web page-enabled device and the server will be able to differentiate for the user links the user has visited from links that have yet to be visited.
