If i remeber correctly the "disallow" items in a robots.txt file needs to have a full path. I dont think that wildcards are supported. This would mean that it's not possible for borg to create a robots.txt page that would work for everyone becuase it's up to the user to install the script at any given location.

I think that the action borg allready have taken are good enough :)

Borg, i think that your change will work pretty well. The problem is probably that pages that allready exist in the organic google list will be vistited very often just to make sure the page still exists. Your change would hopfully prevent that the page will be addedd to the organic list in the first place. I don't think that the nofollow attribure will give the same signal as response 404.

Off topic. Nice layout on the forum. Something feels new ;)

OK spoke to soon likes like all the major search engines, Yahoo, Google, etc. just ignore the nofollow directive and still visit the page anyway.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 21:23:43 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/prevent-googlebot-from-opening-reply-forms-etc_topic23605_post124533.html#124533 <![CDATA[Prevent googlebot from opening reply forms etc : Mattis have now implemented the...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/prevent-googlebot-from-opening-reply-forms-etc_topic23605_post124517.html#124517 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Mattis have now implemented the nofollow on this forum to see how it goes for pages that only members can access like writing replies, and looking at the active users page it's no-longer full of listing of search engines trying index pages that they have no access to, so should save on some unwanted bandwidth use.

If you use browsers like Firefox and Opera their implementations of the CSS overflow property is much less temperamental than IE and looks allot better.]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 16:09:21 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/prevent-googlebot-from-opening-reply-forms-etc_topic23605_post124480.html#124480 <![CDATA[Prevent googlebot from opening reply forms etc : thanks. knowing why i can live...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/prevent-googlebot-from-opening-reply-forms-etc_topic23605_post124469.html#124469 Author: ctscott

That is exactly the same as in version 8.

The data that was copied and pasted into that first post was set to <pre> which is often used for cde to prevent line breaks messing up the code.

In this case the CSS creates scroll bars just for that post rather than having the entire screen scroll. The same happens with images and other content which is to large for the post area. Without it the entire screen would scroll which is even worse.
