    From what you are saying it seems you do not want link juice passed through your outgoing links? That right? If so it has nothing to do with robots.txt

    What you need to use is the ref=nofollow attribute on your outgoing links.

    So for example:

    
    <a href="http://www.google.com" ref=nofollow>Google</a>
    
    Code (markup):

    Thank you Ruby & Krackjoe.

    but there will be many outgoing going links posted on forum. Will I have to add that code manually to each & every outgoing link ?

    I suppose you'll have to add those on all outgoing links. :)

    But don't you think there must be a rule by which the "rel=nofollow" can be added to all the outgoing links as soon as they are added. Doing manually will take lots of time. There must be some rule......

    Sorry I just don't have the time.

    What you want to do is find the spot in the PHP that outputs the anchor to the screen and add the rel=nofollow attribute.
