Okay...I get it. It's IP. :bonk: Thought I was seeing the Boogey Man!

Spiders

I noticed that a lot of the spiders have the same address and they indicate that they are either reporting or modifying a post. Pretty weird. :vfunny:

I think spiders usually would try to follow 'every' link on a page and that's why you see them trying to moderate, edit or report posts or sending emails or PMs.

Spiders follow every link they come to. I did recently put in a 'robots.txt' file (tells them what to spider and what not to) so you shouldn't see spiders doing many 'forbidden' functions in the Who's Online listings now.

Ahhhh! There is a different ISP at the very end of what they are looking at, so you can see the "real" ISP. Just noticed that or I wouldn't have posted. :)
Yes - But only admins can see the IP or the resolved host in the listing.

"Who's On-line" question

Sorry if you've answered this one a hundred times already...

In the "Who's On-line" section of the forums index page, there is the list of registered users that are currently on-line. Can you tell me the significance of the various font styles - bold, italic, various colours?

Just curious...


Thanks,

Dave :cool:
