Here's some messages I've Not seen before in the 'Who's Online' section:

Moderating the topic - MOVDQA/MOVDQU vs. MOVNTDQA/MOVNTDQ: What's a good cache strategy?
Moderating the topic - How do I create a manifest within the .asm file and embed it in the final exe?

Obviously, they Aren't, ... just wondering What is actually being reported here ??  :)
There was a whole 'bunch' of them earlier, All from the same IP range.

What is being reported is guests trying to access moderation functions.

How you can help SMF

OK .... but How is that even Possible ??  ???
As 'Guests', None of the Admin' or Moderation facilities are even visible or accessible to a 'Guest'. ??

This isn't exactly the same thing, but felt it was similar enough that I wanted to put it here rather than start a whole new topic.... Based off what I've read above, I don't need to worry about this (image below) right? It's just bots poking around but not actually doing anything?
