O.P. Who's Online
Can there be a check box that will hide known bots? There is a huge amount of Yahoo! bots that is just filling up the list.

RE: Who's Online
I think what I'll do is combine all the bots of a certain type into one "user," and apply that to index.php as well. I'm tired of it saying 600 people are online when over half are Yahoo bots. :p


(Why does Yahoo need to have so many IP addresses? ¬_¬)

Why does Yahoo! need 300+ bots on these forums anyway?

I dunno, ask Yahoo. :p

The problem is they distribute their requests over hundreds of unique IPs, whereas GoogleBot only uses a few IPs at a time.
