Bruce,
I just looked at "Who is Online?" in the lower left corner. Besides myself and a couple others, I saw "Yahoo [Bot]" When I reloaded, it was gone but... What's that about?

Re: Yahoo [Bot]
Jim, we had discussed the Yahoo.bot issue in our Moderator Administratium. Here was Jeff's same question and Eric's reply:

Bruce I just saw a Yahoo Bot listed as logged in on the board at the bottom where the names of those who are logged in listed.
Not sure what that means???
The search engine bots have always been here, scanning the site content to add to their index. Previously they have shown up as "guests". This software recognizes their presence. There's a whole list of the recognized bots in the Admin Control Panel. These are "good bots", different from the bots which try to register as individual users and then post spam.

Re: Yahoo [Bot]
I changed their display to pale blue but I'm not so sure I like that.... I'll play with it when I get a tad more time.
