Guest, PM???

[MH-Razen]

to solve this: bots and guests can NOT send pms or answer threads or give reps, they can try to access this page but it'll not work.

But since this might be a bit strange I'll hand it over to the MyBB developpers when I return in a few days...

I have the following idea why this works (that the who's online thingy writes such trash): an "unpriviledged", a guest or a bot, is trying to access a certain page. The forum software recognizes an access to a certain url and gives this information to the who's online part. Afterward it gives the guest/bot an error message that he/she/it (lol) is not allowed to access that page. The who's online module, however, is assuming that everybody can access everything and since the url tells that, for example, a guest is sending a pm, the guest will be displayed as a post-sending monster which will doom us all. Or something like that :P

So in short the who's online module is not always accurate.

yes

erm, may I have a word: it IS correct, but it shows the users which were online during the last 15 minutes.

I switched the time to 60 minutes since I hated the session for the admin panel, and then it was around 100
