A "bot" is an automated tool which goes through websites looking for content - in the case of google, the reason's obvious, so they can index it and let you search.

Alexa is a subsidiary of Yahoo, which logs and maps web traffic - they're best known for targetting ads, and their client software's usually recognised as being spyware.

If we're metioning general forum probs, I can't get into 'your A-series' from this computer. I suspect it's because it's on an old web browser, our other computer's fine, but it seems odd that it's only 'your A-series' that won't work :?
