Default Hacking my board?
I've noticed sevral times today when my forums have about 15 guests (unusual), plus the IPs for all of them are 216.239.46.* where * is any given number. When I view who's online each of these guests is viewing a member profile. Is this indicative of somebody trying to hack vb?

If so, how can I go about banning that range of IPs?

ps. I've to upgrade to 2.2.3... planning to do it this weekend, hopefully.

Sounds suspicous ...

You can go into the admin panel and theres a link for banning options, just enter the ip address minus the * and that should ban those users.... alternately you can temp turn off guest viewing privledges for the board.

This was also happening on my forums the day before yesterday. It was the strangest thing! I already don't allow unregistered guests from viewing the member list so I wasn't too concerned about it. It did appear that a bot was attempting to rummage through the members files though!

Right, that's what I was thinking, too. I'm going to hold off on the banning of the IP until I notice it again but damn if it ain't pecuiliar.

Maybe it's a search bot?

At first I thought that too, except it only went after member.php. Nothing else was looked at.

I saw elsewhere that google bots got stuck in member profiles. It could be that.

Good insight, Mark. I noticed that my google rankings had changed as of the "attack"... for the better
