I have noticed several instances of Google Bots having user names in the IP-Tracking Mod. would anyone know anything about why this is showing up?

Code:
wiegandr 66.249.72.133 crawl-66-249-72-133.googlebot.com

When the Google bot hits the user profiles (modules.php ? name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=) - the IP tracking tries to use the username variable

I've not looked into a fix, but its only a minor issue. Nothing critical

No they just fololowing links that a visitor can see, member lists, links to member details in forums blocks etc.
To stop this and general visitors from accessing these a bit of hacking is needed to only allow logged in to see these links.
