WWH and viewonline

[javiexin]

Hello Nick,

Thanks a lot for a great mod.

I would like to ask for a new functionality, but before, let me explain the way I envision this to be used.

FIrstly, I like the fact that people know how many people visit the forum each day, and who they are. However, I do not like to show the number of guests to everyone, because it is somehow misleading, as there are a number of bots and spiders that appear as guests (because they hide the fact they are bots/spiders), and also because there are lots of spam attacks (even if they are unsuccessful in terms of posting, they do hit the guests statistics).

For this same reason, I would like, if possible, to have the possibility to do the following:
1) Keep the history of visitors for (say) 24 hours, but excluding the guests, and show this to everyone, as currently the MOD does
2) Have the option for admins (or controlled by permissions like "can view online") to see also the guest list WITH FULL DETAILS, that is, with IP and User Agent at least, similar to what you can see now in the viewonline page. This would help to identify bots/spiders/crawlers that do not indicate themselves as such, and also to identify spam attacks.

Would this be something that you may look into?
Thanks in advance!
