I viewed the 'Whos online' list just now.

On the list were the members online at that time and a few guests.

What surrised me was that a few of the members's stats read 'Unknown action.'

Once, I even saw a guest whos stat read 'Nothing, or nothing you can see...'

Care to explain this nils?

Or is this yet another mystery of PS?

I am afraid I have to disappoint you, it is not much of a mystery...
Moderators and administrator can do certain things which are hidden in that page but if you see a guest doing "Nothing, or nothing you can see..." it is most likely a search engine spider crawling the site to find updated or new pages to incude in the search engines such as Google, MSN, Yahoo etc.

You mean, search engines are sort of like hackers?
