Yes, that is correct.

They are counted as "hidden users".

Not for me. I am on 3.0.7.PL1.
Just installed the listed code changes in viewonline.php and includes/functions.php but however I log on or not the Bots are still on the Index page.

Anny suggestions ?

Same here. Doesn't seem to work on 3.0.7.

**EDIT**

Nevermind, it works. I just realized the bots are still viewable when I'm on my admin account but when I switch to a test "registered" account the bots are no longer visible. Thanks for the great mod!

Great Congrats Aleksandar.

Be aware that I am still having the problem.
Even when I do not log in the Bots are in the "Who is online" list. Any suggestions appreciated greatly !!

Correction.
In View online it works okay.

It is on the home page (index.php) that all the Bots etc. still show up. There must be w 3-rd file that requires the same change.
Can anybody tell which one ?

EDIT: Must be related to my style perhaps in combination with the Language (Dutch).
I guess prosilver/template/viewonline_body.html takes the "old" values.

Help still wanted. I am also on the Dutch forum but this must be a problem with the combination.

I have just restored and installed the "official" MOD package.
This does the job for now ! Thanks.

P.s. I did not change the language file because it is just changing the text that I do not require.
