Default Guest Viewing Private Messages?

Okay I have a question. This started yesterday. I have guests that are 'viewing conversations' (not sure what that even means, but it what it says on the 'whos online), they are viewing private messages, and able to see into private areas. How is this possible?? I have screen shots of one instance this morning.

I do see that there is a stop sign next it a couple, but it's missing on a few also! But this seems to be a specific user.

It's prolly a BOT. Guests cannot view PMs. See that little RED "Stop Sign?" at the right? Hover your mouse over that. It will tell you what they are viewing. The member profiles can be set in the UG perms.

Yea, I know about the stop sign and error message, the other odd thing is that guests are viewing threads in private forums. This is a very recent thing, starting last night, and the IP's all seem to be originating in Calif.

I'm in CA, so it's me. LOL kidding.

If the stop sign is there, they no one is seeing anything.

If they are bots, you can add private.php to your robots.txt file and then they won't even go to those pages.
