On top of the problem previously stated, I had to turn recreate sessions off because some of my customers were having trouble logging in. But now, bots are appearing (and clogging up) my user tracking. I have checked and rechecked the config/sessions and verified that prevent spider sessions is true. I've also checked that the correct tracking code is in the footer. But the bots still popup.

I'm assumming that recreate sessions being off is causing the problem, that is when the bots started showing up. But I would love to hear from someone smarter than me about why this would happen, and what I could do to fix it.
