Time stamp upon entry into a board

[caladrius]

Is there a plugin or any other means to obtain a time stamp of users upon entry into a board or thread?

I'm running a speed contest. Upon entering a board or thread, they have 30 minutes to accomplish the task in the board (or thread). When they've accomplished it, they send me a PM with the answer. In order for me to determine their speed, I have to know EXACTLY the START and END time.

The END time is easy because they have to PM me the answer. The START time is what I'm wrestling with. If I can get something that'll tell me exactly what time they entered the board, that'll do it.

Is there any way to get the EXACT time stamp they entered a particular board or thread? 

My admin security logs don't seem to do this.

Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? If not, could you point me in the right direction?

It's doubtful that this request would be filled, as this most likely would violate privacy laws. This is why you can only see how many are viewing a board, but not a thread, and also why who's viewing a thread isn't recorded in the admin logs.

I suspected it might be something like this.
