Bots & Guests

[I-Wolf]

Recently when i check "whos online" we have many visitors
Can comeone explain what/who all these bots & guests are, how do they all gain access to rooms without registering
23 when i just looked, sorry make that 29 now, now 32 :O

:thanks

i need to get out more :rofl

Guests could be people who are members opening browser on lmzf but not yet to log in? If u don't have auto login like me when u come to the site it would register u as a guest there (I believe) not sure about bots though

guests only have access to one area though and not the forum, u can see what they access if u click logoff, it's very little they can see in fact no main posts at all

guests can see quite a bit now, alot of forums were opened up to allow the rss feed thingys to work.

guests can't post though

If I run an IP check on alot of these guests...quite a few are spiders which I think index the site for search engines etc...

What's showing up as invisbile Jay?

There is an invisible mode, but it is turned off by default and can only be turned on in the admin control panel...

[Ivor_Bigun]

jay means a member in the member list shownig up as invisible. you won't see cos you're admin but i noticed when i was a member for a week :$ that the invisible person is listed as invisible. no name just the word invisible.

must be doody, no other reason for admin or anyone to go invisible..

What Wayne says, i should of asked last week but only just thought of it
"who's online last 24 hours" it appears
randomness in my noggin is unreal at times :D

[The_Rascal]

ok coolio
Bit daft that it replaces your name with the word invisible... and there was I thinking I had been all Harry Potter :rofl

Note: - the invisible mode has only been used in emergencies and I've not actually been invisible for about 6 months... :)

Do what I do when testing the board.. If you want see what joe public sees in the forums then just log out... Also the forums that are marked as public in their main title header are visible without anyone registering.' just as a reminder that they are open. Mainly games section.
As far as invisible stuff goes.. It shouldn't be used as there is no real reason for doing it..
Only used it once at the start just to see what it did lol
Spiders and bots are only allowed in certain areas of the forum .. The rest is closed off.
