BOTS and People Online

Is there a way to track the bots, but have them hidden?

My "People Online" is always populated by multiple BOTS IPs (not complaining, trust me).

Is it possible to write code that will hide and/or just not display that info or is there already a mod that will allow admin to choose to have this info displayed or not?

If you know the ip's (which obviously you do), you can just add a routine in the script where it is building the 'guest' list to check if the id/name is equal to the ip and just skip it.

So, you're hiding tonite, huh?

hhhhmmmm...I see what you are saying.

Guess I could also just use your Site Info Block and not worry about that, huh... Laughing

Thanks
