Below u will see a picture of a guest .. moving a topic.. hmm how I logged out of my account to see if there are mod tools there are None

Not really happening unless you let guests have that permission.
It can be a bot or if you just logged out.

Yeah could be a bot

Ok thank you one more question, whats a bot
-
a bot is an automated application used to perform simple and repetitive tasks that would be time-consuming, mundane or impossible for a human to perform.
-
U really had to goohle that

Amila- before asking questions here, it is best to do the following in this order:
- Do a search on the forum
- Do a Google search
To answer your question, a "bot" in this case would be more like a "spider". Spiders crawl your website going to random URLs. Rest assured that if they do not have permission to do the action it says they are doing that it isn't really happening.
A good example would be the spider going to boardname.createaforum.com?action=logout
Leads to "Logging out of the forum" in the Who's Online list.
In this case, the spider went to http://ebey.createaforum.com/index.php?action=movetopic;topic=221 which leads to that message in the Who's Online list.
Royston- you did a Google search for a bot, but that is the not correct kind of bot that browses websites.
