I have a question about these bots:
Is there a way I can comfigure my forum so that instead of showing up as a guest, I can make Googlebot appear as "googlebot" at the bottom of my forum? I always keep getting my hopes up for a new member when I see that there is a guest only to find that it is a search engine.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Sorry, but this is not currently possible as far as I know. This would involve file changes that would affect all boards.
Thank you for choosing and supporting CreateMyBB!

Googlebot should already show up... it may possibly be "Gigablast" that you are seeing, that one is not recognized by MyBB.

In the next MyBB version (1.2) most of the new search engines will be added.

Hmm, I just recently saw Googlebot appear at the bottom of this forum.

It does? I always get the same one so I assumed it was always the same. Ah well, you learn something new everyday!
