Topic: noindex attribute for user profile pages

Hi guys,
i have a problem with my punbb forum , maybe you guys can help me.
Google indexed all the user profile pages of my forum (examples : mywebsite.com/forum/user1.html , mywebsite.com/forum/user2.html,   ..../forum/user678.html etc) .  This pages don't have any content and since the number of this profile pages is big ...it can create a duplicate content problem.

So i want to add on every user profile page this meta tag : <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> , but i don't know how to do it. Can anybody help?

thanks

In robots.txt

User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /cache/
Disallow: /search.php
Disallow: /profile.php
Disallow: /users/

Re: noindex attribute for user profile pages

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately,  it doesn't work that way , Disallow: /users/, doesn't block /forum/user1.html , forum/user2.html etc..it only block pages inside the folder "users" , witch is not my case. I also tried with "Disallow: /forum/user*.html" , but it seems is not working.
