Whos Online: Reading Thread

[canadacommunity]

When viewing who is online 99% of the time it just says reading thread, the attachment below is an example...Is there a problem with my forum or away to fix this? Thanks!  Also if it helps i am using  Google Seo plugin

Hi,

you "deleted" what's important, the IPs.

Check the "reading thread" IPs, and you'll see they're bots most of them.

As NoRules rightly pointed out; "Reading Thread" without thread name gets represented by the function fetch_wol_activity() only in case if the thread or post id is not available.

Crawlers have an intention to crawl all individual php files as well. So, for example if you directly visit "showthread.php" it will return you the message that the specified thread does not exist. Users don't generally visit the showthread directly, so its likely the activity of a bot only.
