Even with the updated spiders.xml file, there are still quite a few spiders that display as guests in the WGO box.

One in particular, is crawl2.nat.svl.searchme.com. This is a fairly popular search engine spider, and a regular visitor to my forum and and many others. Yet it still displays as a guest, rather than a spider.

How does one go about changing how a spider displays? Or can you even change it at all?

Are you using the updated spider list by Dream? See this thread - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=257805

the problem with most of these custom search engines is that they use strange IPs and sometimes they are customized depending on each type of site they visit, so it's hard to list them all... the one you had here is listed in the spiders list (it's Charlotte), but not with this specific ip
