Is there a way to hide the # of spiders in Users Online.

Seems inaccurate for counting yahoo and google spiders on your website as actual users online

just to help see what actual guest users are browsing

ACP --> vBulletin Options --> Who's Online Options --> Enable Spider Display (NO)

it shows them as Guest still ...

i was thinking so they dont show up at all

or the spiders are sorted last

That hides bots from showing on the online.php page. What exactly do you want to accomplish ?

maybe after i set that option to No, it will take some time for the active spiders to drop off?

since i still see spiders listed in the Who's Online

It works instantly, usually. Leave it set to "no" and it will soon to just show members and guests.

he means to make it so it doesn't show them as being online at all, setting it to no just shows spiders as a guest.
