I posted this at vBulletin.com also, but this might be a better place :)

I turned the user agent view on and saw many of my "guests" that were actually bots aren't showing in the list as the bots they are.

One was slurp...

66.196.91.58
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)

One was MSN

207.46.98.56
msnbot/0.3 (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)

There was also this one, which I do not like the sound of (since my users have complained of popup problems)

168.75.65.68
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0;.NET CLR 1.0.3705; ContextAd Bot 1.0)


This one was recognized just as expected:

66.249.64.33
Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)


Is there a file we can update, or a way to update the list ?

I found the answer myself in the admin CP, and a great link at vbulletin.com

:) Thanks anyway
