Unknown Action
Usually, you can see in the Who's Online section some users (or even guests) which action is displayed as "Unknown Action". You may found this strange and suspicious but it's not at all. This action appears when you have a Modification installed in your forum and this modification doesn't declare itself properly, so the forum doesn'r recognize what is the user doing.
Nothing, or nothing you can see...
Also, is very common to see the "Nothing, or nothing you can see..." action. In most of cases, as regular user you may see many times this action if you n avigate to the Who's Online section. It means that you don't have permissions to see what an user is doing, for example, if they are posting in a board that you can't see. But also, as an administrador you can also see this action in regular users. In this case, it means that users are trying to access a deleted message or topic or other pages that doesn't exists.
