if you turn on "no follow" tag in the Setup file then it should help stop the 404 hits

as Google wont follow the "nofollow" tags, also stopping you from passing on your page rank.

Also the check would be pretty easy, just add the following to the register.asp file after its made the "request.form("homepage")" part. (note: you may need to check the strHomepage is the right variable)

if left(strHomepage,5) <> "http:" or eft(strHomepage,6) <> "https:" then
   strHomepage = "http://" & strHomepage
end if

Particularly aimed at the WWF team...

Is it possible to add a check to when people edit the homepage in their profiles, to add http:// if required?

Reason being is that within the Google WebMaster tools, it stated that I was linking to 60 dead links.  All (or at least, most) of these were due to people missing the http:// from their website address in their profile.

Missing the above off, meant that Google was trying to index, for example;

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/www.otherdomain.com

Not sure if this has much of a negative effect on Google ranking etc, but nice to clean things up.

Cheers!
