Not Supported Code Changes Re-usable Code

Microsoft's new BingBot is now in operation, along with MSNBot which will eventually be phased out.

To add BingBot to your spiders list, edit /includes/xml/spiders_vbulletin.xml as follows:

FIND at line 26:

Code:

	<spider ident="MSNBOT">
		<name>MSNBot</name>
	</spider>

ADD BELOW:

Code:

	<spider ident="BingBot">
		<name>BingBot</name>
		<email>email</email>
	</spider>

Add below that:

Code:

	<spider ident="bingbot/2.0">
		<name>BingBot</name>
		<info>http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm</info>
		<email>email</email>
	</spider>

I have seen both identifiers for BingBot on my forum. The second addition seems to have replaced the first one which I haven't see for a while now. For the time being, I've added both versions to my XML file.
