I know that the forum detects the crawlers, bots, etc. by their returning browser string. Is it very hard to add a new functionality to be able to add the IP range that we know for sure is used by these bots and crawlers? In most situations the forum shows these applications as Guest, but I know for sure that these are just software programs, because a very closed IP was detected as MSNBOT or GOOGLE Crawler. I guess it makes sense to fix that since we're getting the wrong info about visitors now.
