Unknown Action

If an admin is taking a look at their posters IP's and a poster is involved in an unknown action, what does that mean?

What are they up to?

its nothing to worry about.
Usually search engine spiders, or someones doing something that the forum doesn't put in the online thing. 
(It doesn't put every single thing in there)    Could be in the Arcade.. could have clicked something they dont have access to..  it cant tell you that.

i said USUALLY they are search engine spiders.
They can be people, and members on your forum.
That "unknown action" and also "nothing or nothing you can see"  does not mean they are doing anything harmful.    Tons of threads here about this btw...    really nothing to worry about

I can assure you it's not a hack or anything. Some things are undefined in the software. Regular things, normal things. They're just not defined.

You'd get the same thing from me if I typed in a random bunch of letters after the ?action= part of the URL. I'm not 'hacking' the forum or anything...I'm just doing something weird.
Did my answer help you? Want to help out hosting costs?
