E-Blah Community / News / Prevent Spamming to your Forum
Posted by: Justin, January 19, 2005, 9:07pm
A new 'feature' of Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Search is to prevent certain links from adding to a websites's priority where they get listed at (top of the list or bottom of the list in searches, basically). Google introduced this, which simply adds the following to anchor links:
rel="nofollow"
There is a modification that you may apply to your forum below, which will fix this by the Modification Center.
InstallingTo install, simply upload this file to your /cgi-bin/Blah/Mods directory (in
ASCII mode).
Reference:Google*** Please note that this only fixes the BBC used, it does not change HTML (if you have it enabled for anchor <a> links).

If I dont want to include this tag then what should I do.
I want to index all of my pages in the search engines.
Please do not change the eblah code because it takes too much time to edit the code.

It'll index your forum, but when people use [url][/url] to make a link ... or http://... then the links won't count torwards that users PR and such.

Justin,
Are you sure this mod doesn't have any bugs? :-/ It's not showing the google bot (well wasn't) and that google bots like attacking my forum filling up the logs and forum logs. I aswell have a user and the bot like follows her constantly.
After seeing this I removed it and it's not happening anymore... ??)

This mod does nothing to that ... lol. It modifies BC, not the Core of E-Blah, which includes what you're talking about. lol

Oh... It may have been me. I tried replacing some files. Does anyone else get filled with error logs?
I even get bots that try to go to /cgi-bin/webmaster@cisindia.info <- My email. A bit wierd. :X

You may want to check your security settings. Also, I think you have made a lot of mods to your code...or? Just a suggestion, but maybe you should run a seperate (un-used) un-mod'd forum in a seperate folder so you can test stuff like this.

:P No seriously. When this user posts a thread the bot follows her. And when I'm by myself on the forum it follows me. O.o I don't know whether it's indexing the site as I post or what. It's wierd...
