wally Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hi, i have been meaning to ask this for a while but never did, and now it is really annoying me. In the board statistics at the bottom of the forum, where it shows all the members names who are online, why does it have some that are underlined, like 'googlebot' 'MSN' 'Google' 'Jeeves' what are they as they are not members, are they? :blink: Thanks chris. :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 There search engine "spiders". Search engines send them out all the time to index websites. Invision however can detect them, and shows them up as users. No idea why it does it, but thats why :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
