They are the arms of search engines. They archive pages, update search databases and what not. I think they can be disabled actually but meh.

I like the new style quite a bit, but I miss the alientrap icons and etc... I cannot tell what state a thread is in at the moment, the icons for it right now are fairly annoying... A key/help page for this would be nice.

yeah same.. little legend needed

I'll look into this on the weekend.

I don't know if my information is useful, but...

I had a private message, when I tried to get it, PHP error appeared instead of message text: "*Parse error*: syntax error, unexpected $end in */home/alientrap/domains/alientrap.org/public_html/forum/cache/tpl_ca-black_ucp_pm_message_header.html.php* on line *38*".

I've been unable to replicate this error.

To ensure that Spiders and crawlers (how the search engines index there information) dont effect post counts, views etc etc they have special users designed for them,
when they come onto the forum they have an optimized version for themselves and cannot affect statistics on your board... when you see one of these in your forum the actuall bot is indexing you site, and for admins you can see how many and how frequently they visit

Yeah, I agree with the icons, they are terrible, really. I haven't been on this forum for a while cause I couldn't be arsed to understand which thread is new, stickied, big and whatnot. They are just a jumble mess, made to confuse. The ones who made it should stop smoking whatever the hell it was.

This complaint is made nearly every time I've ever changed a forum theme. Regardless, I plan on integrating a legend and updating the icons soon.
