right, I have done that...and I think it should be considered for the future changes to the script too. There has to be some reason why user profile pages are being indexed so much easier than other pages, all other things being equal.

Re: punbb getting spidered and indexed (9 replies, posted in General discussion)
I see that the profile of each logged in user has robots noindex nofollow tags, but not the pages under the "User List" link....how could I adjust that??

Re: punbb getting spidered and indexed (9 replies, posted in General discussion)
yeah, but every thread also has links to the forum the post is on, and the index forum
I would like to add "ref=nofollow" (recent anti blog spam addition by the major search engines) to the profile links I think...is there an easy way to do this? What file would I have to edit?

Topic: punbb getting spidered and indexed (9 replies, posted in General discussion)
I did the following search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en& … gle+Search
to find other forums that google have found. I went through a lot of the results and went digging to find out what pages were being indexed successfully: I want to see how spiderable the current URL format is...or not - and whether the whole mod_rewrite thing is really necessary.
My conclusions were quite clear: user profile pages get indexed in greater numbers and far earlier than any other type of page - including the all important viewtopic pages. Why should this be?
Examples:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en& … dersson%22
glop.org - 129 pages in index - half of which user profiles - 144 actual posts on forum
this site, punbb, 9000 pages out of 34000 posts
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en& … dersson%22
worrying...2800 posts on this forum, only 73 pages on google and almost all of them user profiles.
if you go through the list of the initial query, you will see the same thing repeated again and again. Any reasons why this should be?

is there a plug in or mod to allow instant highlight+click to add bbcode to posts being written?
...instead of having to do it all manually?

Re: Displaying extern.php results in the Index.html (7 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
could be your server set up
to use ssi, some hosts insist you use .shtml extensions...you said your index page had .html only
have you used ssi on your site before?

Topic: putting posts in different forums (3 replies, posted in Feature requests)
sorry if this has been covered...couldn't find using search
is it possible to take a good thread out of a forum and put it into another...only seems like "edit" or "delete" exists as options for Admin.
can we retitle threads too? Better for SE positioning if we can change titles like "oh wow...." and "I think...." into something more descriptive. Possible?
