On a related topic...why do you show this info only to Admin's? Any reason not so share it with users?]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2006 15:47:19 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/this-makes-me-nervous_topic17830_post97646.html#97646 <![CDATA[This makes me nervous... : I wouldn&#039;t worry to much...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/this-makes-me-nervous_topic17830_post96819.html#96819 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

I wouldn't worry to much about it, it just means that in the version you are using I haven't placed any code into the browser/OS detection function to indentify the browser, or search engine bot that is currently on your forum.

Version 8 should fix this as it identifieds more bots, like the Google Adsense bot which will come to your site if you have google ads, that in the present, 7.96 or below, versions will show as 'Unkonwn'.

Version 8 not only will indentify more browsers, OS's and serach bots, but will also show their location within your forum. See the active users page at the bottom of the forum index on this site, to see this in action.

This data is based on users active over the past ten minutes
 
I mean, guests 1 through 3 had been online and showing for over 15 minutes with the information "Unknown" displayed.
 
Are these just hung or invalid session variables or is someone trying to "back door" my site?
 
Please anyone?
