phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

I tried blocking China, but ended up with too many mails from legit forumites on layovers. Guess that's what you end up with on a forum for Pilots. They end up all over the globe.

When you mention bad bots, are we just talking from a sense they ignore the robots file, or that they are up to no good in indexing your site.
ie is there a downside to being indexed if it is not affecting your sites response times and performance?

Thanks for the responses guys. Gives me some understanding and at least know it is not too out the ordinary.
If they are bots indexing, is that not a good thing and perhaps result in some increase in real traffic?

In the last month my online average stat (one on the front page) has pretty much doubled. Used to average around 200 users online for most of the day. Now has shot to 500+ at times.

Thanks David. I am sure one of them will work. Thanks for the referral.

Want posts such as global announcements to stand out a little more than they do now in the viewforum pages. Only subjects posted by admin or a mod, and not a general option for all and sundry.

Is there a way to add html or BBCode to a subject heading so as to make it stand out ?

Excellent. Have tested and works a treat. Thanks picaron.

Any chance of extending this mod to allow a forum owner to block access to only selected certain forums if the visitor is using an ad blocker?

Great mod Naguissa.

Two questions:

• How is the rating calculated
• The screenshots on the opening post has a shot with a heart on it (assume instead of thumbs up)- what theme is that?
