They were hidden in the "Who's Online" thing before the rollback, could this be re-added?

phpBB3 shows them in the Who's Online area.. Umm there may be a hack for this available, but does it really matter if you can see them or not? :?

I ask because they appear on the Index for me as hidden users. I can see them because admins can see hidden users, but people generally shouldn't be able to.

Yeah, but they're not hidden users. Honestly I don't know why they look like hidden users to you because they shouldn't. If you can find the user_id of a bot, you can view its profile like a normal user.

Glodenox fixed it a long time ago, Frogger, that Bots don't show up for normal users. They only appear for Administrators. What Tweedy means is that now they're showing as hidden for Administrators (as usual) but normal users are seeing them regardless.

For some reason, some bots are able to show up online again after a while. Even though I changed their permissions and their preferences :?

I'm not quite sure why, but one thing is certain: you guys are currently *hardly* seeing any of the active bots.

*checks* It varies widely, but at this exact point in time, normal users see 1, and I see 7.
