Topic: Unknown users!!! Posted: 05 May 2003 at 3:04pm |
I have a small problem!
I have now been runing the forum for about a month, with no problems at all!!! (infact the beta 4 version!!!)
I now, I suddenly, have alot of UNKNOWN users in the activ user list.
Why????
I have taken at short look at the tblactivuser in the access database, an these users seem to have the same ip-range - eks. 85.87.12. - and the som different random numbers...
Is there anyway to stop this, without disable the activuser function or opgrading to 7.01??
Can I block these ipīs, som they do not get access the the forum at all??
Thank you in advance!

With robots you can control what pages they access by adding a robots.txt file to your web site. Check the robots web site for more information about controlling the robot via META tags and robots.txt.

Personally I would prefer googlebot comes and indexes my pages and puts them in the Google search engine.
I hope he comes by and visits mine.
GoogleBot, hey, follow these links down here below this text.

Well good then.. cause GoogleBot is ALWAYS at my place!! In fact, he's there right now!!
Hey Wistex, ya want me to send him your way when he's done with mine?!
My members were getting concerned, they thought we had an overload of lurkers.. and one person kinda got a bit 'worried/anxious' over the whole thing. but sometimes we can have 23-30 show up! I have that great Navigation MOD and have the Active Users turned on, so my members could see everyone online.. so I had to assure them it was OK.. and even GOOD.. but then klr3's post kinda made me doubt what I told them!

Yeah, whenever I see unknown for the OS and browser and active 0 minutes, I typically assume it's just some bots.
And yeah, send him my way.
