If you go to the bots group in memberlist.php the bots are not listed.

I have no idea why it is setup like that, it was displaying correctly a while ago(before B2 when I checked it last).

But anyways, it is a pretty easy fix...

Open
includes/constants

Find
//define('USER_BOT', 2);

Replace with
define('USER_BOT', 2);

Open
memberlist.php

Find
$sql_from
WHERE u.user_type IN (" . USER_NORMAL . ', ' . USER_FOUNDER . ")

Replace with
$sql_from
WHERE u.user_type IN (" . USER_NORMAL . ', ' . USER_FOUNDER . ',' . USER_BOT . ")

That worked great here. Very Happy

I'm guessing it's intentional; since the memberlist is a public listing, there's no real reason to display the bots.

That could be true, but then if someone trys to view the Bots usergroup it should be explained why they don't see them.

Or better yet(if they want to hide the bots) remove any links that would bring you to the Bots usergroup page.

Wait, you need to do it a little different to completely fix the bug...
(you have to replce the positions 2 times otherwise it will have anouther bug)

Open
memberlist.php

Find
WHERE u.user_type IN (" . USER_NORMAL . ', ' . USER_FOUNDER . ")

Replace with
WHERE u.user_type IN (" . USER_NORMAL . ', ' . USER_FOUNDER . ',' . USER_BOT . ")

Find
WHERE u.user_type IN (" . USER_NORMAL . ', ' . USER_FOUNDER . ")

Replace with
WHERE u.user_type IN (" . USER_NORMAL . ', ' . USER_FOUNDER . ',' . USER_BOT . ")

I'll take this to me since I was the one who added the Bots group to the index page so that it is clear what those users are in the viewonline.

The memberlist won't be altered to display them since they are not real members, however the key can be altered to remove the link in the same way as there is no profile link for a bot
