Question Real good question regarding something I'm seeing here...

Feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place.....


What I've noticed is when I check to see who's online, I notice a few strange guests. What are "spiders"? We've got Yahoo!Slurp Spider, MSNbot Spider and one other that lurks.

What's up with that?

They seem to be quite active.

They try to post responses or send messages but they can't since they're not registered.

I wonder if they're human?

I keep trying to login but the login page is blocked or missing. If i go to older postings recorded in my history I can log in. It seems something to do with Javascript. I'm not to internet savy but its not right , or so it seems I can't go to lets say the new questionville. Any help out there?

Log in access isn't at the top right of your page anymore?

That's odd. We will have to look into this for you.
