I was sure it was a feature before of WWF, but it doesn't seem to be adding rel="nofollow" to posted hyperlinks (anymore)? Example (view source) http://www.scirra.com - http://www.scirra.com

Comes out in code as:
My setup file has:
I suspect it might be a bug from the last update as this forum doesn't nofollow the links, but I've been wrong before, it might be me being stupid again! |

Line 157 in functions/filters is set to: If blnNoFollowTagInLinks Then strTempHTMLMessage = strTempHTMLMessage & "" Quick fix, change it to If blnNoFollowTagInLinks Then strTempHTMLMessage = strTempHTMLMessage & " rel=""nofollow"" "

Thanks Gullanian. Looks like a global search and replace may have striped that part of the code. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Q1: If i set the forum to "NoFollow" Links... does it apply to internal links to the forum's own domain as well ??
Q2: Has the above reported bug been fixed in V 10.03 ?

This bug was fixed some time ago. The nofollow is applied to all links within posts and any other user links such as homepage links. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Is it possible to exclude the "NoFollow" tag if the target domain is the same domain of the forum ?
The forum is part of a big site & many discussions Refer to in site links.
I wonder if no one thought about it before ... a forum should support its own site ...

All posted links will have 'nofollow' including ones to other parts of the forums hosted website as trying to calculate which is an internal and external link would be very difficult to calculate and be error prone. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Sorry for being
 shocked ... from ^that^ reply, Bruce ... I believe it should be very easy to Implement.
Any Reference to my other suggestion from today will also be appreciated

I really want this feature too! But I would like a more a more advanced feature that would be easier and less error prone to implement. I want a setting with domains (more than one) that shall not have nofollow. Because it would be great for sister sites and company site to gain page rank from the forum.

This would require storing this information within a new table within the database. The database schema is only updated between major releases. If you wanted such a feature in the next major release, which would be version 11, you should post this suggestion in the suggestion forum so it can be looked at for new features for version 11. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I disagree. If I've done it I would add a key in tblsetupoptions with new line separated values with the domains that are OK. And it would only be a few extra lines of code to check the links.
