On line Guests, who are they !!!!!

Postby belgarth58 » Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:10 pm

I have looked back over the threads but could not find any information...

When I am doing some admin work on my forum, and I am the only one in there I have noticed that it sometimes shows that there is a "Guest" online....

Could someone tell me wht this means please....

Many Thanks

click the ip to do a "who is" lookup on the ip, you will probably find that they are search engine spider bots :)

A "Guest" is any user, search engine or not, that's viewing the forum and not logged in.
