Hi, i notice that using the web wiz forums url rewrite mod google warning me about duplicate urls in urls like these.
http://forums.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums-version-9x-support_forum24.html and http://forums.webwiz.net/forum24.html
or http://forums.webwiz.net/update-problem-please-help_topic28561.html and http://forums.webwiz.net/topic28561&OB=DESC.html
or http://forums.webwiz.net/update-problem-please-help_topic28561_page1.html and http://forums.webwiz.net/update-problem-please-help_topic28561.html
this is an important bug becasuse google and other search engines penalize me for duplicate content
is there any solution for this?

Without removing functionally of the forum this can not be avoided.
Ones like your second example show the same content but in reverse order, so the content is different. Removing this type of thing would remove functionally of the forum.
With dynamic software as complex and rich in features and different ways of displaying the content like Web Wiz Forums this type of thing is unavoidable. However, not seen any problems in using the URL Rewrite and the sites it is used on have seen more traffic coming from search engines and see many results comming top in searches.

But http://forums.webwiz.net/topic28561&OB=ASC.html and http://forums.webwiz.net/update-problem-please-help_topic28561.html
has the same content with different url and this is duplicate content for google
i think a possible solution could be use http://forums.webwiz.net/update-problem-please-help_topic28561.html?OB=ASC and use nofollow links to this urls (orders and other params)
please correct me if im wrong

You make it all sound very easy, but unfortunately it is not as simple as that and there are lots of complicated reasons why it can not be implemented in that way.

I think it is not so complicated, anyway, there's no other solution that implement this improvement to avoid the google's penalty for duplicate content

There are allot more import issues to SEO than duplicate content which hardly makes any affect. You would be best concentrating your SEO on other areas.
For example a search for ASP.NET 4 Hosting a couple of days ago bought webwiz.net up twice on the first page on Google both pointing to the same article in different locations.
Dynamic pages that point to the same content are very common place so search engines don't worry to much about it. More important is your content and getting back links to your web pages.
Write good content and the rest will follow, hence why our homepage has a PR rating of 8/10 which is extremely rare.

I have built a modification for my forums that uses the Canonical URL Tag to tell search engines what the 'main' URL is. I will be releasing this on my website within the next couple of days. Look out for it in the 9.x Modifications forum on this website
