Full Version: Show bots as bots instead of guests?

Let me explain. When I go to View Online list, bots are displayed as "Guest". Shouldn't every individual bot be displayed as Googlebot (or just Google), or Yahoo, or MSN or which ever other bot there is?

I've seen that on most MyBB forums it works like I want it to, but I guess I'm missing something? I also want bots to be listed in the list of online users with separate formatting than other users?

And what to do next so the names show up as I mentioned?

Is there an alternative that won't involve this? I only need several bots that will show up how I wanted...
Bots are displayed as their respective name, if you are seeing guests then they are human guests.

If google crawls your site " Google" will appear in the "Who's online" section
But why are there then 2 guests every time, the same moment I make a new post (or edit existing one)? Every single time... With the same IP address, and it's not mine... And there's nobody else online?
They are likely guests. Google the IP Smile
