It's definitely also got to do with how heavily modded the board is.... One of the early v4 boards I help admin had the same issue until all mods except this one, were turned off for a time. But that wasn't tried until just last week.

Originally we thought cron jobs were interfering, on Ozzy's board. Hence why only relatively few Baidu's were getting through. It wasn't until much later on we began to suspect hooks, and firing order, and etc.

Originally after working on it for a couple of weeks, we just blew it off for a time. Wrote it off as just a fluky deal. Until others started reporting the issue, then when I bought that v4 and didn't have the problem it really ramped up interest in solving this again. This goes back almost a year or maybe a little more, this mystery. For us at least.

Kudos to you Simon for having such a open mind about this - few devs would have listened especially on such a well established and widely used Mod as this.
