There is a user logged into my forum as a guest for the last 700 minutes with system OS and browser labeled Unknown. What exactly is this? I am concerned that someone might be scanning my forum. Is there anyway I can disconnect them or even find out what their IP is? Please help

This sounds like it could be a spider scanning your forum.

Spiders are often used by search engines for indexing web sites.

If you upgrade to version 8 it can spot allot of spiders and display info on which spider it is instead of saying unknown. Version 8 also allows you to view the IP address of all online users from the stats page in the admin area.

I would love to, but my forum is in Arabic, and currently there are no Arabic Language files for v.8
