I keep getting weird urls listed on the who's online. I'm worried some troll is trying something.

The urls look like

.../forums/categories.php?cat_id=1&page=2&s =f36998e31b8

and

...forums/index.php?s= 515f85d891bbb180167da76e8b96eb7a

(but without the spaces)

The IP addresses appear to go back to the same ISP as known trolls on the forum. Could someone please help. What are they doing????

It is probley a Search Engin Spyder. The Ip Address will have very close similarities and they will try to access everything they can.

I don't see no need to worry.

I don't think so here.... The two main culprits are a florida roadrunner account and an aol user. And the ip address for the aol guy matches a former member I had to ban cause he was creating alot of problems. The florida account matches this known troll who has caused trouble for other forums along the same lines as mine.

It's either a search bot, as SmEdD said, or just a member.
If you are worried about those numbers + letters, it's just the sessionhash
