Anyone know how I would go about making all links in posts no follow to insure I don't link to bad neighbors etc.. ? I have a group of posters who think there doing creative seo by reply to all the post with good content and then a link embedded to that product on there site. I though I'd get a set ahead and just make them work for me by making the links "no follow" or "no refferal" for my own selfish search engine purposes. TIA

Well, I don't know much about phpBB, but I'm guessing you could edit the bbcode.tpl file and change this:<!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" target="_blank" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->to this:<!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" target="_blank" class="postlink" rel="nofollow">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->
