Why is the yahoo logo at the forum it's reading, and not next to Guest, where I think it would be more logical.

Or just change Guest to Yahoo and add the icon too.

Because a spider isn't really classed as a guest, it's just looking through the forum, not an actual person, so there is a spider in the thread, not as a user... if you get what I mean?

bah, i don't even think I'm making much sense tonight myself...

So you mean that the guest wasn't a search spider but an actual person, and a search spider just looked trough the same thread as that person?

I dunno... I didn't consider putting it anywhere else. The current location is the easiest place to put it, and I was already showing the Plus! logo there for people visiting the timeline page.

Who cares anyway? :tongue: The bot identifier is just a simple little feature I added because I was bored.
