There is something more going on with the active users list. It looks like this at my forum:
Gebruikersnaam Laatst actief Actief OS/Browser Lokatie
Rowdy vandaag om 19:57 26 minuten Windows XP IE 6 Actieve gebruikers
Gast 1 vandaag om 19:48 0 minuten Windows XP IE 6 Forum Index
Gast 2 vandaag om 19:48 96 minuten Search Robot Google/AdSense Bericht bekijken
TFD Encounter
Gast 3 vandaag om 19:44 0 minuten Search Robot Yahoo Bekijken Gebruikersprofiel
Gebruikersprofiel
It's Dutch, but it says I (Rowdy) am looking at the Active Users screen, which is correct.
Guest 1 is also using Windows XP IE 6 and is looking at the forum index. Could be.
Guest 2 is a Google Search robot and is looking at a topic I just read. Highly unlikely.
Guest 3 is a Yahoo Search robot and is looking at somebody's profile. Could be, but unlikely.
Then, I went to the topic 'McTrek' at my forum and read the last page. I immediatly went back to active users and then it showed:
Rowdy vandaag om 20:00 29 minuten Windows XP IE 6 Actieve gebruikers
Gast 1 vandaag om 20:00 108 minuten Search Robot Google/AdSense Bericht bekijken
McTrek
Gast 2 vandaag om 19:48 0 minuten Windows XP IE 6 Forum Index
Gast 3 vandaag om 19:44 0 minuten Search Robot Yahoo Bekijken Gebruikersprofiel
Gebruikersprofiel
So, now Guest 1 is looking at the topic McTrek. Seems like Google is stalking me around the forum ;-)
Guest 2 is still at the index and Guest 3 still looking at some user profile.
Please note that 'vandaag' is Dutch for 'Today'.
I hope this helps. You can also take a look yourself at my forum at http://www.starbase74.nl/forum80
EDITion:
The same appears to be happening for all other visitors to the forum. Everyone shows up as their real name, and 2 guests accounts, 1 tailing them around and 1 looking at some user profile.

If you look the spider is actual:-
Search Robot Google/AdSense
Please note the Adsense part, this is Googles Adsense spider and what it does is every page there is a Google Ad on it will index if it hasn't already so that the ads it syndicates to the page fit the page topic.
If someone opens a page that has Google Ads and the Google Adsense spider has not indexed, it will index the page 2 or 3 seconds after the page is accessed.
Guests can not look at users profile, when they access the profile page they get a login form, which is why in the active users list they are shown as viewing a member profile, but without any member name appended to the end of it.
Hope this clarifies it for you.

Does that mean it is reading the content of the page?. I'm not sure I want that as there will be some sensitive information being posted. Will the licensed option remove that?
Or is it that I am using Version 8.0 RC1.1?. I have just downloaded Version 8.1 and will change it to that tonight
Please let me know as I wish to set this up for an animal rescue group for members only and not to be indexed for public viewing
Thanks in advance

It can only read the content of the page for those forums that have Guest access to that forum.
In version 8.01 the Google Ads have been removed and replaced with Web Wiz Guides own ad system, so you shouldn't have Google Adsense coming to your site unless you place your own Google Ads on the page.

I now have V8.01 and have just noticed in the statistics page on the control page that the googleBot is here again.

I have checked that there is no guest permissions on any of the topics.
What might be allowing this to happen?
I have even added the IP range to the block IP option for
66.249.*
Is this the correct format for adding block ranges or do I have to quote around it i.e. '66.249.*'

This is the Google search bot, NOT the Google Adsense bot, which is completely different, the Google Search Robot indexs your site for inclusion in the Google search engine.
The Google Bot can only index whatever a Guest can view.
Blocking an IP address will just mean that anyone with that IP address has Guest only privileges on the board.
If you don't want Google to index your site then you would be better off adding a robots.txt file to your web site.
Google has a list of intructions of what to add to the robots.txt file so that Google won't index your site, or folders on your site.
