Post by Fezz »

ok not to certain about how these forumns and stuf works but thought i would mention this periodically over last 30 minutes down the bottom where it tells you how many uses and registered uses online etc ive noticed Yahoo [Bot].

just thought id let yall know about it also unlike the other registered users you cant click on it like a link - might be nothing, but i like these forumns hehehe so there it is.

Latest version of PHPBB has pre-made accounts for the search engine crawlers. Nothing to worry about...

The simple answer is that the new version of the forums has provided support for google and yahoo bots and display their presence in that 'online users' list.

A second possibility is that an error with the user tables has popped up due to the recent forum migration, which can lead to users being displayed as the bots.
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &p=3905335 discusses this but does not provide a solution.
