Using Ipb 1.2

I don't think that's an option on IPB. I know it is on VB but not on IPB. That's what you get when you get a free forum ;)

What is:
Board Settings (Search Engine Spider/Crawler Set-Up)

[Mentor]

u know like googlebot googles robot, cralws sites to index them so the serchable etc, well that set up is what works bots, aka wether to show them when there online, what usergoup to put them in, say u want them to see certain bits that normal guest cant, wether to log vistits all that sort of stuff :D

[xxMATTGxx]

:o i turned it on and that but i dont know how to really work it :S

[Mentor]

its quite simple realy,

first bit if enable means the forum can detct robots, otherwize it would just treat them normal.
second bit chooses wether or not to log all there visits

3ed bit, chooses wich group robots should be treated as being in, as some forums show difffernt forums to differnt groups for exsample.

4th bit is making it use a certain skin as some skins may make it easyer for the robot to index the content on.

5th bit is just weather or not the bot shows in the active users bit, (bit at botoom shwoing online members)

the section below it is just chooseing what to call the differnt bots if you were to display them in the active users bit :D
