oh, it was that old.
 
Anyway, it's a bit strange that the spiders are not smarter. Google is still browsing through all kind of combinations of the calendar. If they downloaded a copy of each page then they would notice that all of the downloaded pages are 98% identical. Just the date differ... If googlebot is about to index all days in the calendar, then it would take a lot of time. LOL
 
MSNbot is having a hard time accepting that a page does no longer exist. Msnbot have visited a page, that is returning 404, about 10 times allready.
 
It's interesting to follow the spider activity. I haven't done this before and this is why i'm interested :)

I just let them get on with it, although I have placed in delays on this site of 60 seconds to slow them down, even then they still suck around 10gig of bandwidth per month.

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.

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.
