Hi all
Have noticed this a couple of times now. Is it something I should be concerned about?

Cheers

Mstcool:
Nope

This happens automatically

I dont believe you should be concerned about itt cuz it really does nothing

ElmuhWoo:
Thank you muchly!

K@:
Just a little clarification, so you don't think

Certain actions are defined, within the software. But, particularly if you have mods installed (Like a shoutbox, chatroom, or similar), those actions aren't defined. So, it generates that message.

Arantor:
Actually, that's not quite how it works.

If you have guests performing something expressly listed as 'Unknown Action', it will be a mod that didn't declare itself or clean up after itself (or a mod that you uninstalled but search engines/users are still trying to get there)

But 'Nothing or nothing you can see' is based on one of two things, depending on whether you're a user or an admin.

If you receive it when you're an admin, it's because the guest/user is trying to view something that does not exist. A deleted topic, usually. But it's still in the search engine cache, so it still tries to look it up.

If you receive it when you're a user, it can mean the above, but also if someone is viewing a topic that you can't see, it won't leak the topic's name to you, it'll simply tell you that what the other user is doing is something you can't see. Same deal if the user is in the admin panel, it checks whether you can also see the admin panel, and if not, you get that message instead.
