This happens from time to time when we're being crawled.

What is it the spiders are trying to do that generates "Nothing, or nothing you can see..."?

That is a good question. And I have no idea of the answer. :-P

Some Googling (example (http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:EqgLlkuzJ5QJ:smsforum.net/smf/index.php%3Faction%3Dwho+%22nothing+or+nothing+you+can+see%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=9&client=firefox-a)) revealed that this has happened to other boards as well. So, whatever it is, it's not unique to this board.

I had a really quick flick through the SMF source, and it looks like it sets the 'action text' to be that which I mentioned, before it goes on to set it to a specific value, such as looking at a particular topic. Under some conditions, such as the topic ID being empty, no permission to view the action type, and so on, it'll stay as "Nothing..." etc.
