The forum software will be undergoing an update in the very immediate future. Like in the next couple of days. I will be taking the forum offline for the duration of the update.

OK just a PHP update?

Just a phpBB update, 3.0.8 to 3.0.9.

I was having a moment. Went to ACP and saw it is outdated. I did a backup just in case. Stored one locally and one on my HD.

The update didn't go very well. Something odd going on server side. I'm going to have to spend some time figuring out what is happening that keeps the update from finishing.

If you need my PW for the SG site let me know. I have no problem letting you be me for that lol of course you may have some issues with that.

Partial update completed. The base phpBB installation has been successfully updated from 3.0.8 to 3.0.9. However, phpBBSEO has not been updated. The installer keep failing after checking 51 files.

Wonder if that has anything to do with my issues trying to add bots?

Right now these two are here and I'm sure I've tried to add both or you have.

H'm, I'm not having any issues adding bots. I just added both of those no problems.

Some that have been added in the past continue to show as guests, why would that be? And I can't give specific bot names I just have seen this, like the two you just added I'm sure were added before. Have they expanded the IP range?

Some of these bots have several different IP ranges. I just do a match based on user agent. You'd be here forever trying to match on IPs.

I figured as much. Did see the Baidu one today though.
