some way for users to participate/click-in for a contest

I'm trying to think of a good way to have users click a button to check-in for a giveaway. I would be running 1 giveaway a month, and I want to create a different secret location each month (different link to get to it) that would be sent out via email. The user then needs to login to the nuke site and go somewhere and click a button. No information is required from the user, I just need to see that they actually read the email, got the link, and took the time to come and check-in for the giveaway.

I was thinking of using the module edogs opros which I used to use in the past. I have a copy of it (not the installer with instructions, but a backup of an old installed copy) and don't even know what version it is. The latest version is like 1.0.9b or something. The download on their site is broken though, and I haven't received an email response yet.

Is there a feature currently in nuke I could use? I want it to be as simple as possible for the user, just go to the link which requires you to be logged-in, and click something. I don't necessarily want other users to see who has "checked-in" either.

I could do it if anyone has a copy of Opros that they could send me.

found Opros finally. Whew - had to register over at:

and find it in the Downloads section.

Almost required me to call my wife who's native language is Russian into the room Wink

edit: I think I'll just use Opros. I'll install a second instance of it, change the module name, hardcode in a random string for the new name, and each month ill change the string and use mod_rewrite or something. that should do the trick.
